Where did city mapper go?

There was a simple, neat procedural generator called City Mapper which seems to have been erased from the existence of the earth.  Anyone know where it went?  Looky here (if it lets me upload a file) I have proof it existed:

    kickerd - I do not know, I never had it. However, if you work with Bryce, you can create such height maps using the DTE (deep texture editor). Create a terrain, open the Terrain Editor TE (with the terrain selected, click on E). Now hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and click on Pictures. This opens the DTE. Right of the combination window click on the upper button to open the Texture library and select - for example - Basic row 1 column 10, accept and you are back in the DTE, accept and you are back in the TE with a height map of the texture, accept and you have this terrain. Of course, you can elaborate in the DTE to create a more interesting terrain for a city.

    Yes I did try that one.  Wasn't the best for my purposes, but I found some other interesting ones last night worth exploring.

    Thanks for the reminder of procedure.  I have done that before, long ago.
