[ANN] Feature list for next release of the ClarkWehyr X-COM Editor Suite

In e-mail correspondence with several users of the ClarkWehyr X-COM
Editor Suite v1.00, I've been asked to post a list of the planned
enhancements to the editor:

A few UI tweaks have been made.

Auto-rename for soldiers according to stats--i.e., "Harry Miller" would
be renamed "Harry Miller T-fS-", meaning that the soldier possesses good
TU, low bravery, average firing accuracy, good strength, low psi
strength.  "Good" is defined as over 60, "average" is 50-59, and "low"
is under 50.  These values would most likely be user-configurable.

Max values for soldier attributes and inventory will be made
user-configurable.

Sorting soldiers and/or reordering soldiers by hand.

Summary base and soldier reports--something like this:

Item	Base1	Base2	Base3	Base4	Base5	Base6	Base7	Base8
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name	USA-1	Euro-1	Asia-1	Euro-2	SoAfri	---		---		---
Sold	10		15		25		3		2		---		---		---
HWPs	1		2		1		0		1		---		---		---
...
E-115	200		215		315		25		0		---		---		---


Soldier		TU	Stam	Health	Brav	Rxn		FA	TA	Str		PStr
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry Mill	69	46		32		10		38		54	59	61		13
...

You will have the option to dump the report to a printer, to a disk file
(.TXT) or to a comma-delimited data file (.CDF) suitable for importing
into a spreadsheet or database application.

Thanks go to Hans-Joachim Gurt and Detonate for their suggestions.

The next release of the editor will probably not be until at least
v1.10; the non-released version is currently at v1.01.  I plan for all
of the above to be featured in the next release, time permitting.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to e-mail me or post your ideas
to news:comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic (I do not have access to
alt.games.x-com as of yet).
