Gentlemen,

we are all here to share a common interest. Can we please play nice, or

easily delete it?

        Ok, but that doesn't tell me what Dundjinni is. Is it just simple

        cartographic stuff? is it CAD?


      This should answer your questions...

      http://www.dundjinni.com/


    It doesn't, which is why I asked. It looks like a paint program with
    labels in some of the description and other parts make it seem like a
    mapping program such as CC2. So, which is it?


  Were you just trying to be intentionally obtuse? Need your hand to be
held that you won't explore a website a little? I clicked on one link
from the program's website given above and found:
