And how much you have helped us old hands.

Are you doing this by hand? So much of it looks like it could be automated (except for some errors in the GC files) but that last chart (the one that looks like a flow diagram) had to be done by hand.

A question for someone that has a working copy of the OS2 version: Wasn't the Avatar tech required for a precursor tech of the Excalibar tech? I think it was a pre-req for either Artificial Satellites or Artificial Planets. I think there are other cases where such connections existed in the OS2 version and do not in the current version.

I have tried to minimize the amount of hand work.
The techtree is actually produce by a program called graphviz you can find it here

I do tweek the dot file I produce and I need to get the size of the gif and merge in the client side map to the html page. Other than that it it all produce automatically.

Let me know if anyone has suggestions for improving this.

Enjoy
