I think I tried the HM thing never got it working - The original I think needed a wrapper for the D3D or OGL ~ Open GL or Glide.
I though wil gee remade these at some point?
Anyway, I only used the TTD editor for any work. (the wil g. Geawttd version that is)
The lack of the tarlist file or whatever was a hassle also, from what I recall,
