[DS] Vehicle Generator

Since I haven't posted here in some time I hope I've addressed this message
correctly.

I just wanted to let the list know that I've finished a Dirtside vehicle
generator for Excel. It's based heavily on the work Schoon (and others) have
done for Full Thrust. In a nutshell you plug values into cells which calculate
the point costs, capacity, etc. The workbook has some effective error checking
routines, so if you were to exceed size with armor you would be warned of the
design flaw. The design sheet exports it's values to data card, which contains
all design's weapon ranges, die types, etc. There's even a handy infantry
worksheet.

If anyone is interested in a copy, contact me off list, and I'll be happy to
send you the file. Finally there were a few of you whom I promised to send my
finished work, when I was still in the development stage, unfortunately I've
lost that list of address so you should contact me

Aaron,

I would be most interested in looking at this Excel tool! Save a lot of
pencil work for sure :-)

Sounds great but what if my computer doesn't have Excel on board? (It doesn't)
Do you have an alternative format?

Download Star Office from Sun Microsystems, it's free (or was when last I
looked) and reads Excel files as long as you're not using Asian charsets.
