Sorry, to mention this but I've already written a ship design program
and it is currently having some documentation written for it (hopefully :)
The program is written in mostly machine independent C and I'll be making
it available sometime real soon. I have tried to stay as compatable as
possible with the current MT design rules, and I think I have succeeded
quite well. There will also be a version for TDR when the TDR vehicle
design rules stablise a bit.
I cannot really help you with the mysterious errors, it could have something
to do with rule interpretation. I should also say that I haven't checked
out the designs in the GDW books, so it could be GDW is at fault!!!! ;-)
