I'm using Windows XP and the program won't start, it says I need to download something from a .NET or something like that. What's wrong?

About the Undo thing, I'm grappling with the same problem in my own editor.
Say, for example, the user deletes all the tiles in the room with 1 "clear all tiles" command. In order to "revert to the previous value", you'd need to recreate hundreds of tiles in their original positions! It does seem that temp files are the only way to go with something this complex.
I wrote a multi-step undo for my Sonic 1 Special Stage editor (the whole stage data was small enough to store many copies of easily and quickly). If you'd like the code to look at, Sonica, PM me.

I now have 5 undo/redo steps almost working, in a minute I should have it fully functional.
If anyone wants me to push the history count up (max 10) just say and I'll see how it is.

I'd say 5 should be alright... Thinking about it this way, before Vista, Paint only had 3 Undo steps =P

2 bugs to sort. Not being able to redo the last step, and when clicking undo straight after a change, it un-does 2 steps.
They might be related.
...but they are friggin' pains, I can't find the cause.
Edit: I made it 10 steps anyway my little sugar plums.

Sorry, but I have to put a cap on it, or I will have to do another re-write. And I don't want to, not in v3.
I have to fix the current bugs first, anyway.

Most every professional software I've ever used that allows you to change how many undo levels you have creates a pagefile or something. I'm pretty sure it's standard practice.
