Nice.

I agree with what the others are saying, there's a lot of source code for solving obscure programs that is only on Sourceforge.

One example I found recently is a program called QLumEdit. I recently had to figure out how to work with EuLumdat files, and if it wasn't for the source code for this program on Sourceforge I would have been completely stumped (well not quite, but it would have taken me ages).

If SF goes down the toilet, a lot of knowledge goes with it so this is awesome to see!

If anybody is interested, I was converting this code from C++ to .net, my horrible hacky unrefactored effort is here - https://github.com/bumblebeeman/eulum.net

I am planning to make this code nicer, and develop it into a WPF app when I have time!

I am getting pretty close too, here is my .net generated version of the images this program produces: http://imgur.com/PCmpnJ2
