Cricket Coach 2007 - Player database public access and .dbj conversion tool

[Oli Norwell]

(from www.cricketcoachgame.com)

In what must be a first for cricket management simulations, Rockingham Software have today launched a system whereby users can download the latest official player database direct from Rockingham Software's official database server.

Users can download the latest player database via the interactive section of the site. The database is provided as a comma separated text file, to allow users to easily manipulate the file and potentially write database editors.

Also released is a utility to convert the downloaded text file into a binary file suitable for use in the latest release of Cricket Coach 2007. This will allow users to edit players and then create a database file for use in their version of Cricket Coach 2007.

A online public database editor is currently being prepared, and should be available soon. This unique editor will allow the community to build a combined player database. The best additions to this database would then be incorporated into the official editor.

Before anyone asks me, the answer is no.

Should be somple enough

Download in Excel (which accepts CSV's)
Tabulate,
Edit
Save as CSV again - could even put a bit of VB in it to do some sort of reasonableness check and tabulate the original file, and clean up the save file.

Use a freeware spreadsheet probably just as well.

Nice addition.
