Subject: Win95 Starship Generator???
K, not to honk anyone off or start another really stupid war of words, is the Win95/NT Starship Generatro ready yet? If I remeber correctly an approximate date had been set for Oct 7. I figured I would wait a respectable period after that date until I voiced my question.

Well, I don't remember who was writing it but I know mine is almost ready for
some beta testers. It doesn't save or load ships right now but you can print
it out.

The core has been done for almost 10 days, I'm finalizing the disk access and import procedures now, lookin at monday at the latest now, very busy work schedule lately. p.s. The import will take the semi standard FTF files people have been workin on and import them into the ship builder. You can save the ship as a binary (for use by the program, and later the simulator), as a text file for use in PBEM, or as a HTML for web use.

Still I doubt I'll completely ignore FT2 just beacuse the Fleet book comes out. A lot of people I know who don't play regularly probably won't use FT3 so it'll still be handy. Also how many non-subscribers to this list will know about the new fleet book? Many will continue to use the old system. Anyway it'll probably be easy enought to adapt.
