Now it might just be that I was missing an obvious link, but last night I tried to get a copy of maped3 and had an exceptionally hard time. It is not in the packin zip, and the latest version I could find in the file section was maped2w. I finally tracked down a copy within Rysen's tutorial package.

Might I suggest that given it is such an important tool it be made more readily available (especially in the beginners section).

Ok, that's sensible. But it's not in the latest packin demo release, which the beginners resource section points you to as containing everything you need.
