I have been on the Beta team, and website business and computer repair business has been keeping me busy the past few months.

With the new version of the game scheduled to be released in 7 days, there will be some happy campers around here.

As usual, some of my older programs become of no use, as they have implemented features in the game that do what my utilities did.

This year, they have changed some of the CSV dump files, and unfortunately, they have not documented the changes. So, it will be trial and error for me to fix the previous versions of my programs to work with the new version of the game. I really have not tested any of them except the Autologo program, which adds historical logos to your leagues. It still works and needs no changes, that I can see so far. Without trying, the fictional logo program should still work. However, the logo collection has not grown, as no one has ever sent me any new logos to add to the program.

I did work a few minutes this evening on the AUHistoryHint program, and I was able to get it working, but it needs to be checked further, as some of the data is wrong. It should not be much of a problem to get it working properly. Most of the other programs will not work without them being modified, and many will require massive changing and not easy changing, as I have a ton of variables that have changed.

So, with that said, I will more and likely be writing new programs for the new version of the game. Top of the list is the baseball program and the Hall of Fame program.

I will need help from the public with both of these programs, as the printing will have to be tested on different printers and I do not even have a printer hooked up for testing.

Watch this forum for new versions of the programs. There will be new versions of them, just not updates to the existing programs, so the older programs will not be modified, so they will work on the older versions of the game still.

When the game is released, you can help by trying the 2007 versions on the game and letting me know if they work or not. I can't really do much until the game is released, as the CSV dumps can change day to day.
