Gaming Conventions
Another new feature for Grognard.com, the Gaming Convention calendar will make it a snap to keep up with all the latest

Gaming Clubs/Organizations
Please check out our new (and growing) database of gaming clubs and organizations world-wide. Please let us know of
your gaming club, or any other clubs that you know about so we can make this a truly useful resource.

It was created to address the need for non-destructive overlay of bitmaps atop bitmaps. Although features are based on gaming needs, EC may be universally useful for overlaying tasks.
In the modern computing environment EC can be used in conjunction with Netmeeting or Webex or similar desktop sharing software to play a game in real time, i.e. synchronously. Gaming references in this Help file assume asynchronous play (e.g. PBEM).
