All of the above and more will be included in my Game Master's assistant
program (no official title - working name is Fates) that I have been
developing in my head for many years, and I've finally actually started
working on it for real.  It will be GUI based, and very easy to use, but
very powerful (don't they all *say* that).  I am developing it on the
Apple IIgs and will be porting it to at least the Mac and to Windows.
I expect that several other versions would come soon after if it is
successful.  Unfortunately, I've had to pretty much put it on hold until
May when I'm finished university and can take up software development
full time.

OK, so all I've told you is that I am working on some supposedly great
program which is entirely vapourware at this point.  Yes, that's true.
But the point of my post is to let you know that, yes, someone has been
thinking about such a project, and very carefully at that.  Also, I
too would like to hear what everyone would like to see in a program
like this.  I know pretty much what I wwant out of it, but I may have
forgotten something or not given something enough thought.  I don't have
time right now to go into everything I have planned for the program,
but I will be watching this thread to see what comes of it.  Let's
hear from you all.

Thanks for listening.
