Tell me more.

If you own a private island in Second Life, you can download a region's terrain as a file. Backhoe reads those files and gives you the tools to terra-form the entire region at once. Later, you can upload the edited file back to Second Life and your whole region will be changed.

How do I get it?

It's free. Just download from the links at left. Also, it's open source. You can get the source code and recompile it if you want.

What do I need to run it?

A Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

How about a manual?

The application includes help, though admittedly paltry at this point. You can read it on-line: Backhoe Help.
