Which .csv file to use?

[gglennwill]

I'm not really a newbie but this is probably a newbie question...Which .csv file do I use when I am doing a historical replay? There seems to be a standard one and there also seems to be a historical one. Which one do I use?

If you're importing historical, you use the Master.csv

Is it really that simple? Here's what I found in the manual:

To use either one of the two built-in historical databases provided by OOTP 9 (Lahman, or stat-neutralized Lahman), choose the file historical_database.odb. In default installations, this file can be found in C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\stats on a PC, and Users\user name\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\stats on a Mac. This should be the default directory on this screen, so in all likelihood you're already in the right place.

If you are using another historical database, you should select the file from that database called master.csv.

I don't think that information makes it entirely clear, either. If you're supposed to use the historical_database file for any regular historical league (i.e., Lahman-based), then what good is the master.csv file that resides in the same folder?

What about MRules point above? Battist seems to be saying to use the historical_database.odb file. This gets more confusing by the minute....
