(At least that I can remember.)Again, no guarantees it'll work for you, but it works for me. Of course, if you run into problems you can't fix yourself, you're likely to have to continue using 5.8.1.Amen to that. My group has spent about $300 on datasets (etools and pcgen) over the years. There's no way in *really warm mythical place* that we're switiching to something else. Well, that is, unless I decide to actually write that character creation program I was sidetracked from a few years ago when I joined pcgen instead. And the first thing I'd write for that mythical program would be a tool to import Pcgen lst files. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />/Jonas, a (mostly inactive) pcgen developer</blockquote>
