Two questions:

1) Where acn I download ZDL2?
2) Has ZDL3 been scrapped? What's the status of it?

1) Good question. I can't find it, and I have to remove a bunch of debugging stuff from the source before I can make a release compile.

2) ZDL3 is still in the works. I have big plans for it, but it will lose it's title of being "simple". You will be able to turn off tabs you don't need, but I want it to do all the things I have wished it did since I wrote 1.5.

General (required): Normal stuff like IWADS and PWADS, extra args, port select (ZD, GZD, etc), warping and skill.
Options (required): Directories, IWAD locations/definitions and config saves.
Multiplayer (manual): Hosts and joins, ports, demos and DMFlags.
Multiplayer (auto): Game setup, chat, user list, ready state.
DMFlag Calculator: An easy way to figure out what DMFlags you are supposed to set
SaveGame browser: Check out what saves are present and select one to load

That's all I can think of at the moment. I know there are more.

This was one of the most tedious things I did while writing my launcher.
