Thanks Dan for your work. I'm glad you waited as late as possible to get the final as close to "accurate" as possible. I plan to waste the entire night playing it and will send you the $30 I normally pay DMB.

Heh, the later release date is actually because I've been out of town due to family issues and haven't had much internet, not so much cleverness of design!

There's no easy utility that dumps my projections simply into Diamond Mind; rather, I have to create players one-by-one.

Hey Dan, for my 1918 DMB disk I wrote a utility in AutoIt (thanks from me to David Pyke as well for the tip and help setting it up) that worked with my Excel sheet of stats and ratings and did the tedious job of entering stats and ratings for each player. It's been a while since I used it for anything, but IIRC, you have to highlight (not select) the player in the Organizer screen, then hit the button and the script brings up the stats and ratings tabs, enters all the info, goes to the next tab, enters all that info, goes to the next tab, etc. I also used it to enter splits, advanced fielding stats, and actual starting lineups for several Retroseasons.

I think once I was really cranking with it, I could physically enter all the stats and ratings for all players on a team in about 5-10 minutes.... about 2 or 3 evenings of work would knock out an entire league-season.

There's also something called KADU floating around the interwebs (Kick-Ass DMB Utility) that I've heard references to that apparently does hex-level editing of the DMB database to enter stats and ratings but I'd have to call in some help for that. I've never used it myself.

I'm tied up with classes now and take finals in mid-May, but after that let's see if what I've got can be of any assistance to you.

Yeah, SG sent me KADU, though not the utility to automatically re-generate the event tables automatically. I intend to play with it and use it next year.

Thanks for all your hard work, Dan.

Dan, thanks for your hard work and a place to get the proj. disk for DMB.
