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. DjFIL
