Yes Jim, I will add that for sure!!

OK, I uploaded a new install program. Uninstall the previous version and also, erase the contents of the RETIRED PLAYERS folder. You can leave the empty folder there.

Install the new version.

The first thing you will notice will be the new main screen with pretty graphics.

Run config to set your league up, then under utilities run INDEX PLAYERS and then run INDEX ALMANAC then run ADD RETIRED.

Then you will be all set. I think later I will add a ONE CLICK setup button for first run.

If your league has had the Almanac on and saving the players, it should now have all of the retired players. Well, 99 percent. I will explain that in a minute.

All of the functions should work. Gold Gloves, 20 game winners, etc. All links should now work, even if the player is retired. Under team, that should work also. The 1st draft and 2nd draft choices should also work, even if they are retired.

I think have that part pretty solid now. I have one issue and I am baffled. Under my no-hitters, I have two guys listed. One I cannot find ANYWHERE!! The other does not have a no-hitter. I am not sure why.

When you are indexing the retired players, you may see a guys name appear more than once on the left. This is normal, it just means that he has more than 1 player file in the almanacs. Not sure why that is, only Marcus knows. The FIND PLAYER button works great. Just enter part of the name (first or last name) and it will find all of the matches, active or retired.

The Hall of Fame is greyed out. I will be working on it tomorrow. I have to sim enough of my test season to test it, as I have no HOF guys in it.

Let me know how many teams are in your league and how many seasons you have played and how the speed of the program is.

Oh, one more thing. If you use the Index Retired Players button with the re-index option on, go and delete all of the R5000.html files and above from the RETIRED PLAYERS folder.

When it adds retired players from the almanac, it starts at 5000, so it does not over write the existing players. You can change that by modifying the retiredCount.txt with notepad. Just change the number to a higher number.
