ruxius: While getting different sized pictures "might" be desirable to do split screens, there's already a wealth of pictures and stats out there, why not use those? Though I'm not entertaining the idea of using this split screen in SPWAW, just think of the unit display in SPWAW for a moment. If you split that screen to allow the display of two units, even without the slightest modification to that data, it would be possible to achieve the split, but someone would have to know how to put scroll bars for each split, and though you couldn't see everything at once, you could at least compare one tank's same stats to another with ease. Needless to say that's a very crude example. One doesn't need new pictures to achieve this, unless you want to copy OTR's split to the last decimal. There are good and poor screen splits I would assume, but my contention is that CL would be better for having one, for the worst you get if it works in a very poor manner (thereby making you not use it), is one unit per screen which is where SPWAW is at the moment.
In mainframe computing we have a split screen and it saves you worlds of effort. We know OTR's database has done it, why not CL? Perhaps it's something that would be best delayed, but it may be something real simple to do too, I just don't know.
