Calling Jeff Cato!!

tcblcommish · 11-07-2004, 09:06 PM

You out there anywhere?

Would hate to see this awesome program die but I can't use it now due to the error I am getting.

Catobase isn't going to "die" just because your problem isn't fixed. Why don't you go to his website and use the customer service option.

I think people forget that this program is FREE and the designer does not live to solve their problems!

Or....you could phrase it a little more politely...Many people are having the same problem, so it's not just him...people are also reporting that they aren't hearing anything on their submitted tickets...so....

Cowboys3356 · 11-08-2004, 01:47 PM

Fair enough!

ctorg · 11-08-2004, 01:54 PM

What kind of error are people having?

643gdp · 11-08-2004, 03:48 PM

The most common error (I think) is a failure to Import Stats after a season due to "missing league.csv" error.

Correct. Or being able to import but then getting an HTML creation error.

Same problem here. I came back over here tonight for the first time in awhile to find out if any solution had been found.

I'm waiting to advance to the next year in one of my solo leagues 'cause Catobase is non-functional (that's how huge Jeff's program is for me).

-E

p.s. I donated and all others should too. Jeff should be charging us just a small $5 fee to offset his time and effort. He'd have at least some spare beer money.

I don't get into flame wars but I know it is a FREE PROGRAM, however, there are many people out there that LOVE the program and I was concerned for it's future. My appologies to you if you found my question as something that was intended to displease anyone.

The error that I am getting is ERROR 94 when creating the HTML after import.

As for going to his web site, I have 2 tickets that are awaiting and have waited a while before this was posted. I am not in a hurry or anything, just concerned that a great program could die off.

DaveHorn · 11-09-2004, 05:39 PM

I can't recall error 94. Is that all the info you get? Where in the process does it crash? What is it processing when it dies?

If it is doing team splits, have you tried 6.0.0? There is a team split bug that only affects some of us (have no idea what actually causes the problem) when generating the HTML. All versions except 6.0.0 have this bug.

jdettbarn · 11-09-2004, 07:39 PM

Jeff was in the JOBL, but I haven't heard from him in a couple months. I emailed him at every email address I had, as well as tried him on AIM. No luck.

I hope all is well...

tcblcommish · 11-09-2004, 08:12 PM

The error is in the schedule splits. I think it's a known error. The last post I saw was from Jeff, 3 months ago saying that it will be in the next patch.

I hope all is well too. I never meant to imply that he SHOULD have it out by a certain time. I would just hate to see this disappear.

DaveHorn · 11-09-2004, 10:08 PM

You very likely can fix that by just using version 6.0.0. Worked for me and others I've talked to.

tcblcommish · 11-09-2004, 11:03 PM

Do you lose much with using the 6.0.0 version?

DaveHorn · 11-10-2004, 01:19 AM

Very little - we don't have few bug fixes and we don't have the new optional awards. Obviously, I'd love to use the new version, but any version is better than none for me.

I just updated HFTC's CATO with our last season. You can view it and compare with 6.1.4.

Mr.Opinion · 11-10-2004, 04:56 PM

Dave, any idea where I can get the older versions of the install file for Catobase v6? I only have the one for 6.1.4

DaveHorn · 11-10-2004, 05:04 PM

PM me your email and what version you need I can send any version between 5.4 and 6.1.4. I've collected them all now.

Mr.Opinion · 11-10-2004, 05:24 PM

PM Sent. Thanks.
