Eric:

    Thank you for the extensive reply.  Knowing that there is the  
MakeGameTileSets program to autogenerate the per-game Tiles.xml and  
to check the Map.xml file is a big help.  Although I do wonder why  
you don't simply read in the global Tiles files and use that.  But,  
knowing XML, perhaps that is too much of a strain on the program.

    Anyway can you give this poor ol' non-Java programmer a short  
hint on how to run MakeGameTileSets?  I am getting a  
'NoClassDefError' on org/apache/log4j/logger when I try to run the  
class directly.  I am probably doing something painfully obviously  
wrong.

Thanks,
