Fix the map compressor

The map compressor is located at:

http://shadowlord13.googlepages.com/dfmap-index.html

As you can see it's about 8 months old and does not work in vista, I have little to no programming experience and so I thought I would bring it up here in case someone that reads it does.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

It's not broken.  You have to have the .NET Framework 2.0, which is generally a requirement for any of the nifty utilities of DF (and a LOT of other stuff as well)
AFAIK, the .NET Framework installers aren't backwards friendly; you have to install with the 2.0 installer to get 2.0, install with the 3.0 installer to get 3.0, etc.
