Does this appear to be the only
substantial remaining question?

See the following quote by Sandman for more details:

Also there are some issues with 6.5b and catobase that I refuse to use the program with at this point. The ltransall file, which you need to rename to ltrans txt to get all the transactions really does not have all the waiver transactions. Players are appearing on one team when they actually played on two. If you do not rename the ltransall then you miss other transactions so it is a mess. I went back to 6.5a but then decided that it is better to use 6.5b but to not use the catobase....... bummer!! I export the stats so that I can get the splits but now I just put the exporter data into access and create my own queries....
BTW, someone emailed me and stated that all the transactions that are in the ltrans file are also in the ltransall file, with the only difference being the ltransall had every transaction in it. I have taken the files line by line in two leagues and have found items not in the ltransall. Anyone that wants to test this for themselves will probably find the same thing. Compare the ltrans to the ltransall. If all the records from the ltrans file are in the file then you can use the ltransall to process all the transactions in CATOBASE.....other wise you need to combine the two files by date, which is a nightmare to do, very time consuming......

with 6.5a you could use the lalltrans.txt file and rename it to ltrans.txt and it would process nicely. This was required because not all transactions needed for catobase were in the ltrans. Well now there is a new issue. The trades are no longer in the lalltrans.txt file so renaming this file to ltrans will give you the transactions but not the trades..... It seems like with every fix there is a new problem. Liked it better when all the transactions were in the ltrans.txt file......... Also using the ltrans file by itself does not get you all the waiver transactions so when you run cato you may have players listed on 2 or more teams but the stats are accumulative not separated... this does not happen with every transaction. It appears to happen to players placed on waivers and picked up by another team.
