I like so much Crossfire, and I like and want to colaborate the
project. The inconvenient is that i don't know how to do maps nor
Python programming. But i know Tcl/Tk and some Visual Basic
Programming.

I know very well how Tcl/Tk is, and i use GAMBAS to create Visual
Basic like programs, so i can create a frontend (using better Tcl/Tk)
to install Crossfire under Linux/Unix systems.
This frontend will have two options:

1.- Install in base of a rpm Crossfire packet
OR
2.- Compile the Crossfire source code.

The problem is that i do not how to "construct" the rpm packet.

Initially, the program will be only a frontend, this is, the program
will call the appropiate Linux/Unix commands to install the rpm or
compile the source. This will help newbie users install Crossfire

If you are interested, I can start in two or three days and I can
finish a test version (ALPHA?) in three days. Maybe some more time,
because of the university studies don't leave me much time.

I will do I can.
