The reason these maps don't look right in CC3+ is that they use a font for symbols, and fonts back then was a completely different format than today's true type fonts.

They look fine in CC-DOS once you configure it to use the right font (It doesn't store the font reference in the map the way CC3+ does), but I assume it is the SYMBOL2.FNT which looks right.

Due to the use of the font, I am not sure if they can be made into CC3+ maps. There is a function for exploding text in CC-DOS but I don't really know how to use it, it seems to be expecting some input which I don't know what is.

I should be able to export them if I can just remember the image export command.

You can easily convert a lot of text at once by using :CC2MCHANGE: to change the text properties.

Just hide the layer that contains text labels you don't want to change, and then just simply select everything in the map at once.

Most of the features of Yahoo Groups, including all the downloadable resources on the group page such as files, images and message archive, was removed about a year ago. There isn't any way anymore to extract anything from there and put it anywhere.

The shutdown anoucement on the site now is just for their final service, the email part, which will also go away.

After running CC3+ once, it should set .fcw files to open in it automatically.

But that box from Windows is normal whenever a program changes the file type, windows just wants to let you know it has happened. After running CC3+ once. it should be the default option at the top of the dialog (listed as fcw32.exe), you should be able to just click Ok. And if that somehow don't work, look for other versions of fcw32.exe in the same dialog. You should eb able to tell from the icon which is the correct one. Once you have tested and know which one is correct, make sure it is selected, and the checkbox for allways use that program is checked, and you're good.

Considering that this is a side view, I would probably try out filling the area with hatching. It just doesn't work the same to just have edge-hatching as it does on overhead maps.

Ah. Coding is great fun. I remember I started back when I was about 8, had just gotten my first computer, a Commodore 64. Those were the days. Plugging away in BASIC.

Once you've grown up from this web stuff, you should learn C++, then you can follow my XP tutorials and learn how to program addons for CC3+.

Those lines reminds me of the TCP 3-way handshake.

They are meant to be stairs, right? Perhaps making them with some steps and not just lines?

I was also thinking, since this is a cross section, and that hole in the middle still have a backing somewhere, perhaps apply a faded out version of the hatching as a background (perhaps with a tunnel for the stairs?)

And filling the sides with hatching did look much better than just edging it.

Looking pretty.

Is the grogg for before, after or during mass?

Ralf has now reinstated those downloads, so they are now available for anyone (with DD3 and CD3 respectively) to download again.

@Lillhans That's your decision obviously, but most atlas maps aren't that well researched anyway, and your map certainly wouldn't be out of place.
