Yeah, it might be a waste.  Just thought of providing another alternative for 
those who want something and don't really have anything to plop down on top of 
DGD.  Especially with those who want to start with TMI.  I've had lots of 
people ask me about TMI and if it was portable to DGD.  If it was ported over 
to DGD then it would be something I think people would want.

It would definately be a future project.  Nothing in the near future at that.  
Who knows.... yours might be ready by then and I won't have to even visit the 
idea further than this thread. :p

Thought about releasing Karealia but it is a "Hack".  Very little of it looks 
like the original Melville and it honestly isn't put together all that well.  
Works great for now but who knows when I start getting lots of visitors. :)  
That and it isn't even close to being ready for just throw it in the folder and 
run mode yet.  TMI(even with all of its hacks and insecurities) does do that.
