I see that a new graphical map editor is out, although it seems that the 
current version only allows changing the terrain.  I'm curious: how long 
do the gurus who are hacking C&C think it will take before we can easily 
create our own fully-working levels (without fiddling with hex, that is)?

And one more point.  It's interesting that Westwood, unlike Blizzard, 
didn't jump on the design-your-own-level bandwagon in the wake of Doom's 
success.  I suppose C&C has proven a big enough earner that encouraging 
homebrewed levels isn't necessary -- to the contrary, it's probably 
thought of as a threat to future profits.  Obviously Westwood deserves to 
earn all the green they can from this great game and its spin-offs, but 
you have to wonder if, after they release the forthcoming new levels CD, 
an editor might follow, too.  Why not, after all?  We'd all still be 
interested in the gameplaying advances of C&C's sequels -- still 
many moons away -- while getting extra life out of the original.
