Steve Kuffrey, HolyCow98, and dougaiton,

Thanks for your kind words.

If you find any problem in the program, please inform me about it. I have only tested on my machine, so I don't know how well it works on other machines. (It should be fine, since the program is just a simple EXE executable.) Thanks again.

HolyCow98,

Word of caution. In order to get the expected performance scout (scout.bat) to work, you will need to use rating translator to generate the rating to stats look-up table first. What this means is that you will have to have the look-up table for the rating translation even for a newly generated league. This look-up table is generated (with translator.bat) by collecting and comparing the ratings and actual in-game stats. You are probably wondering if the new league doesn't have any stats yet, what should you do? The solution is to generate the look-up table using other league. As long as the 'substitute league' has the same league total setting and same rating distribution, this look-up table should still be able to give you a fairly accurate rating translation . Hope this helps.

For more information on how to use the utility program, please read the Readme.txt file. Or you can just ask questions here. Thanks.
