First Post
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program that works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc). All datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway.

For users who have trouble getting the 3 zip files to unzip properly, we have some OS-specific installs that should help minimize the chance of install related errors. Links to these installs can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate PCGen Releases/
These are the same PCGen everyone else uses, just packaged with installers which target Windows and Mac OS X users specifically. Typically there is a lag between when the official release is done and when these special installers are ready.

We always recommend that users install new versions of PCGen in a 'new' directory.

Below is a list of everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is available at http://pcgen.sourceforge.net , and the main discussion group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen . If you wish to discuss making your own custom lst files for use with PCGen, the data monkeys have made their home at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenlistfilehelp and they pride themselves in being able to field all questions about the data - from very basic to very advanced. All three zips are required to run PCGen:
pcgen511_part1of3.zip, pcgen511_part2of3.zip and
pcgen511_part3of3.zip.
