Well, we've got enough information about TNE character generation to write
most of a character generator program (and when TNE really and truely comes
out it ought to be easy enough to fix the blotches unless some major structural
changes have occured.
As far as I know that ship design rules are not yet released so we cannot have
written that program yet. My design program is good for MegaTraveller and for
the ideas the TNE ship design group put forward (most of them at least). When
TNE is released, I intend to investigate modifying the program to support it
in some manner.

Ah, but is TDR >> TNE or TNE >> TDR ??

Well we were a few months ago. I posited a few suggestions last week and
received a null response :-( Guess they must have been as close to perfect
as is humanly possible ;-)
