GPL an idea that probably won't work

i understand your idea but there occourse is problems.  Not all programs use
the same code.  You might beable to convert a nother papy game (eg.  Nascar
or Cart Racing) but I dont think it would work with others.  Otherwise for
any other tracks youd have to design layout your self.  But no major
worries.  Arne Martin (who did almost all the edited tracks for CPR) is now
gonna work on GPL tracks once the editor is more useable.  That's all I know
for now.
