It seems to me that the area editor doesn't get a lot of updates. So why not release the source code. I could think of so many improvements that I'd be here all day. Like a graphical mapping solution. Or auto exits (ie add edit n makes the room n add an exit s). And if it was open source this would allow people to port it to their codebase.

Wasn't it already released?
Oh, wow thanks didn't realize that. Do you know of any current projects on updating it? All my Google searches just bring me back to this site.
Thanks,

I'd heard from a couple of people that they were trying to make changes/improvements to it, but nothing public and no plans for releases that I know of yet.

Not really. I think there was one query from someone who couldn't get it to compile with the free MS compiler, because the free one doesn't include MFC (the libraries it was built with).
As a general rule, the more people are using something the more bug reports or general discussion on the forum there is about it, so I guess not much.
If you didn't want to use MFC you could probably adapt it, for a start using STL for things like linked lists, and something like wxWidgets or similar for the GUI interface.
