[21C]

I've just made a program that cleans out all of the mentions of player waivers.

I've noticed a few people complaining about the fact that there are too many mentions of player waivers. I can't stop the actual waivers in the game but I was able to change the reporting of this:

From the Readme:

This program will remove all of the waivers reports from the Transactions file. The original file ( ltrans.txt ) will be backed up ( called ltrans-backup.txt )

The program must be put in the LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX folder for your league.
Like C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP 6\MyLeague.lg\LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX

There is only one issue with the program. On days where there were only waivers, these get removed, leaving something like this:
6 Tuesday 4/20/2008 :
~
6 Wednesday 4/21/2008 :
~
6 Thursday 4/22/2008 :
~
6 Friday 4/23/2008 :

Not elegant but the original file size should be cut in half.
