A lot of this work has been setting us up for the future. Our LST syntax has been overhauled to ensure future backward compatibility. Those of you with data sets you have created yourself should drop by the PCGenListFileHelp list and inquire about conversion tools to bring your data up to date. Those with data from Code Monkey Publishing should check with CMP regarding updated data sets before upgrading. We have been working with them to ensure this future upgrade path. In the future releases we have setup PCGen so that updates can be performed by the program, so this should be the last of these transitions.
