			=Map Editors=
			Map editors are programs that are specifically written to create and edit [[BZW]] map files.

			There's several different versions of map editors which currently exist.
			Some are standalone programs while others are based on plug-ins and/or scripts and mostly are designed to convert files into the BZW format.


			Below is a basic general comparison of several map editors.
