Where to find Catobase?

caracarn · 01-01-2005, 12:20 AM

I'm trying to find the Cato historical utility, and the link to eqalnicity.com does not seem to work anymore. Any ideas where I can get the latest version?

tcblcommish · 01-01-2005, 01:29 AM

This is bad news for the Catobase in my opinion... Equalnicity is gone

Anyhoo... you can probably get the Catobase from one of the many addon sites for OOTP.

www.baseballsimcentral.com should have it

rem · 01-01-2005, 01:31 AM

I agree.

OOTP download center has it, I believe DaveHorn has all versions saved.

Man. I fear the worst too. I just picked it up within the last week or so. Talk about timing. But maybe, just maybe, it means Cato is doing some updating.

And I have this piece of land in Florida ......

I suppose this is one good thing about OOTP7 not coming out for almost another year.

JoeRockEHF · 01-01-2005, 04:29 AM

Actually the Download Center doesn't have it. The download link for Catobase was a link to Equalnicity. If anyone has the files send them to me at JoeRockEHF@comcast.net. I've been busy but I'll try and get them up as soon as possible.

When I checked equalnicity.com's registration last month, it was set to expire on December 29th... so I don't think it's a matter of Jeff updating...

Looks like he's dropped off the face of the 'Net...

EDIT: I have the originals but they're too big to send via Yahoo! Mail...

caracarn · 01-01-2005, 11:23 AM

Thanks guys! I hope someone finds a copy soon and someone puts it up so that those of us that need it can get it.

disposableheros · 01-01-2005, 02:07 PM

i have a bunch of them, but no space to host them

v5.4 (12.3MB - too big to email....ideas?)
v6.1.1
v6.1.2
v6.1.3
v6.1.4

DaveHorn · 01-01-2005, 05:54 PM

I also have all those versions and can upload them so JoeRock can download and put them in the download center. Might not get to it until later tonight or tomorrow.

I've been wanting to remake CATO forever but have had many other hobby oriented programming tasks that have been higher priority. I'm fairly positive that if Jeff were to never return, that I, or some other individual would carry on with a new CATO. CATO 6.0.0 has been adequate for my immediate needs, but if there was suddenly no CATO, I know it would become a very high priority on my project list.

DaveHorn · 01-01-2005, 06:27 PM

I've uploaded all 5.40 and greater versions and have PM'd the location to JoeRock so he can download them and host in his site.

As long as the exporter program is available it would not be difficult to duplicate the CATOBASE program using the current CATOBASE MDB files and CommishJoes exporter CSV files as a guide. Creating the html program will take a bit more time but can also be done with out difficulty. If Jeff were not to come back this could be duplicated, or if Mr. Cato did not want to pursue keeping the program active maybe he could publish the source or allow someone to take over the project. I am a programmer but I work on the AS/400 and green screens, but I have worked with teams that create html docs from my files and I have taken html classes at work, I may be able to work on this type of project but I am by no means an expert with VB or HTML.

All versions of Catobase for OOTP 6 are up at the Download Center in the Utilities section.

Joe, where can one get the exporter? Also, do you need to get 5.40 and then each update, or are they cumulative, menaing, can I just pull 5.4 and then the 6.1.4 update?

exoverge · 01-03-2005, 03:22 PM

The exporter (For ootp v6) can be found here:

http://www.bosicentral.com/files/exporterv6.zip

JoeRockEHF · 01-03-2005, 04:31 PM

You can follow the link in exoverge's post for the exporter. As for if you have to download all of them in order I'm not sure. I've never fully got involved with using Catobase so I couldn't help you there. I'd take a guess that you download 5.4 then the 6.0 update, then the 6.1.4 update but I'm unsure. I'm sure someone else here knows the answer.

So it's the BOSI exporter? I've seen sites that had both BOSI and CATO and they had a "CATO Exporter for 6.1.4" but it linked to Cato's site, so they no longer work. If it's the BOSI export then I have that.

exoverge · 01-03-2005, 07:20 PM

I believe they are the same. I use the exporter from the bosicentral site and it works fine.

SandMan · 01-03-2005, 10:01 PM

If you are using CATOBASE 6.1.4 you do not need the exporters. The files are included with the program and run in the background when you create the input files. These files are then loaded into the MDB database file and then you just use the second option to create the HTML files.

The new program is slick and does not require as many steps as the old program did. Also you just need 5.4.0 and then the newest update I believe.
