This is a messege Steve received from Kevin about the new windows editor
along with the screen shot.

We have made great progress on "GWEDIT", a new GCSW editor for
creating levels.   Here is a screen shot.   Right now it can load in
levels,
and you can move objects around etc.   The 3D viewport is working now, but
only shows a 3D scene from one of Microsoft's developer demos.

 Here are some of the main points:

 1.) Have multiple levels open at once with the ability to cut and paste
 whole sections of world between them.
2.) Maximum possible objects in a game level increased from 700 to 2048.
 3.) Much better manipulation of objects with the mouse.
 4.) A 3D view of your world in a seperate window which you zoom around in,

 and possibly make adjustments to the level with visual feedback.
 5.) Internally, the objects are stored in a different way so that in a
 future version of the game engine, multiple levels can be dynamically
loaded
 to make an almost infinite size level.
