I never noticed there was a font tag...
(Back on topic...)
Sweet, copy and paste units/doodads in the next version will be UBER.
Previewing Fog of War is awesome too. Especially for terrain people.
Good job SI!

Wow, those are awesome features. Looks like this version is going to be the best yet.
My favorite so far is the Unit Range Previewer.

When I tired to open a map with this program my CD drive destroyed my StarCraft CD and I had to system restore in order to get my computer able to open a program within 10 minutes. Anyone else have problems? Maybe just timing with heat or something..

Sounds like bad luck and bad timing. I've used both this version and the public-prereleases several times with no CD-destroyage, or any other bad effects.

Upon second trial everything worked.. No exploding CD's this time..
My favourite thing about this whole program is that the units die when you make unfavourable terrain, I don't know if that was in past versions as I dismissed this program until now. It's... Nice.. I still think I prefer StarForge for Terrain though, but then this is only a BETA so.. Good work! Are we supposed to report bugs at all? If so where?
