New bug fix: First, I no longer have it display the progress in the windows, as I think it was freaking windows out a little. It also speeds the process up by not displaying it.

If you were getting an error when you ran it, this is more and likely why. If you continue to get an error after fixing the CSV file created by OOTP 6.x, please let me know.

The problem is a bug in 6.x that I have long known was there, and has come back to bite me. It is with players who have too long of a nickname or too long of a place of birth. You may have noticed them in your league. You had a bunch of them.

If you look at the CSV file you sent me, you will see it. They are displayed as garbage, usually as a little square box in NOTEPAD.

Trouble is, my program freaks out when it sees these characters in a CSV file, it will sometimes just cause the program to crash, other times it will detect it as an early EOL (end of line) and then all the numbers are thrown off.

The ONLY solution is to delete the characters from the CSV dump, or go through all your players and fix their nickname and/or place of birth. The modifying the CSV is much easier. Use notepad.

Please post if you had a sucessful conversion so I know how well the program is working.
