  Ken,
  You wrote somewhere in readme.txt-files, that you might
  provide a link to a good Build Engine Source Code FAQ.
  
  Of course, the best way to learn something about
  it and how does it work, is to ask it's creator - You - directly, since there is such opportunity (your e-mail or this forum) - and it's just great!
  But nevertheless, is there any good FAQ in the net, which deals whith questions
  like "How does Build Engine or it's related software (like SLABSPRI voxel editor)
  [do something]?"
  Could you please prompt a link to it?
  
  Thank you.

  Things didn't work out like I expected. Only a small handful of people have actually worked with the Build Engine Source Code. I wrote a lot about BUILD in my BUILD.TXT and BUILD2.TXT files. I don't think there's much else other than hints in the release notes or change logs of these modern ports.

  SLABSPRI is not a popular utility, so I don't think anyone ever wrote a FAQ about it. The source code is released, so maybe you should volunteer to figure it out and write something about it : ) Or, if you don't like wasting time, try using SLAB6 instead.
  
  There are links to many FAQs about the editing tools here:

  What happened to BUILDHLP from the DOS version of DN3D? That would be a big assist on someone's part to find that .exe.

  Actually, the text for buildhlp was stored in a seprate text file, BUILDHLP.TXT. I've heard that some of the information is wrong, so I wouldn't use it as my only guide.
