Looking for sector map generators

[azato]

I am looking for a program that will generate sectors automatically and puke them into either a graphic format or a pdf. Traveller rules would work the best, but any other system would work as well.

I found one. While it does work it doesnt' output to a print friendly graphic. I suppose I could invert the colors (negative).

Vista seems to be a problem. It doesn't like Gal and Heaven and Earth can't find an obscure file when it is installed.

(sigh) I can always try it on my wife's laptop.

must be something with Vista, I run XP Pro, and have no problems running either

I keep finding more reasons to ignore vista completely

So did the rest of the world.
Vista was one of Microsoft's biggest flops, which explains their frantic efforts to get Windows 7 out the door.

Could try setting compatibility modes on the executable.

I may try that.

I got a new computer and it was what came with it. I debated on the two and decided to go ahead with Vista. For the most part I have enjoyed it as an OS. My main beef is that it does not play nicely with my home network. I can play video games with my other computer, but for the life of me I cannot get them to see and play with each other nicely any other time.

I am sure you will write back and tell me that I am also suffering a major performance drain, which may be true but I have nothing to compare it with on this computer.

Oh, yeah, there were some games that used to work on XP that don't work now.

I run Gal2.4 within a DosBox - just look it up and down load the program. Runs sweet.

phanks! Hmmm. Maybe I can resurrect some other programs as well.
