Check out http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6599/v_map.html or
see the attached blurb.

What's new with v1.7?  Yow!  New layout, new dice roller, new LOS/
ruler tool, sending dice results via e-mail, faster scrolling, more
counters, a (hopefully) bug free save and load routine, and a bunch
of internal optimizations.  It's really enough to jump straight to
v2.0, but I'm not done yet.

Coming soon are multiple addresses for e-mail, the ability to
attach your vmp file with your die rolls, the ability to customize
your dice preferences, add on-the-fly die roll modifiers, and [small
drum roll please] I'm working on a method to add tables as a
specialized kind of die (wandering monsters, crits, fumbles, hit
locations, grenade scatter, etc.)  So, to start off the new year with
something new, here's v1.7 of V_MAP while I continue to work towards
version 2.0.  Of course, _you_ are my customers. Any feedback (pro or
con) is always welcome.

Besides a new program, Melvin Williams has made a handful of
historical gamesets, and there's a new Squad Leader 'kit' made by
Joshua Hockaday.

A blurb:

V_MAP is a free graphical PBEM gaming aid for Windows 95/98/NT.
  It allows you to work with maps and counters for a variety of
  wargames and RPGs.  If you can use a graphics editor or scan
  some maps and counters, a PBEM solution may exist for you.  The
  vmp save file is a simple plain text document usable with nearly
  any e-mail system.  V_MAP is also an excellent tool for hot seat
  gaming or solo play.

And some CYA stuff:

V_MAP is a free tool for enhancing existing games or for those
  game designers that want to create something new and share it
  others.  In no way, shape, or form does is it an attempt to
  challenge any copyright or trademark.  OGRE/GEV/Shockwave maps
  and counters are licensed with Steve Jackson Games.  Deep Space
  Oblivion 6000K is copyrighted by Peter Drake and used with
  permission.
