As a last resort:
I have 3 programs at my site that helps make height fields and place objects on
them. They where All wrote for my old Win98, but they run on my new WinXP.
The first program lets you use contour lines to make a height field image in
tga(8bit) or ppm(16bit). The next one lets you rough up images made by the
first.
The last one Lets you place things on a height field made by using the Image
from the first two.
