Well, to be honest (we Dutch lie first and ask questions later) I just assumed it would be huge, because of all the possibilities involved.

Ergo: Even my ancient computer at home should succeed in downloading this. I'll give it a go......

I'm running a 533MHz processor at home, connected at 56K, and using FTP to move the files between my Unix account and my home PC. It doesn't take longer than, oh, 5 seconds to download even a finished game

Man, I really gotta get around to documenting the tool

Ok, ok, some time before the end of summer.

Chet,
Any chance we could pay you to write it sooner? Count me in for a $10 spot if so.

Mrin ....here's a link to
a basic manual for the PBeM tool:

Looking throught the site and the links will give you some basic ideas how the program works.

... play with a fried of mine?
Who's out of state and we are not a part of any league. OR is this toll for leagues and league teams only?
Also, once you put in all the new updates, how do I update the current version? Would it mess up my saved game(s) in progress?
Once (if ever) I come up with like a few buds of mine and we decide to organize a small friendly league, would be be allowed to use the tool? I see that there are a few leagues to choose from on drop down menue that the tool got, would it be possible for you (or us) to add additional league(s) to that menue, does that save all the league rules and options?
Thank you for your time!
-Dave
p.s. I'm asking all these silly qs only cause ive never played BB on line.

Tool works for friend to friend play as easily as league play.

Also, once you put in all the new updates, how do I update the current version? Would it mess up my saved game(s) in progress?

The latest version is always available at http://www.pbembb.com
Also never upgrade version in the middle of a game ... you are almost guaranteed to not be able to finish your game.

Once (if ever) I come up with like a few buds of mine and we decide to organize a small friendly league, would be be allowed to use the tool?

Absolutely, I think most the commishes of the major PBeM leagues would tell you that the tool makes it "fairly" easy to run a league, and I try to give tech support as I can.

I see that there are a few leagues to choose from on drop down menue that the tool got, would it be possible for you (or us) to add additional league(s) to that menue, does that save all the league rules and options?

In order to get added to the permantent list of drop-down leagues, you have to have two things: 1) A PBeM league with its own website. 2) The league has to be open to the public.

If these two things are not true, then just edit the leagues.ini file in the ini subdirectory to make a template for your local league and then make sure to give the file to everyone.

Version 2.4 will be coming out at the end of April.

Do you actually get to see a BB field in this programme or is it all in your head? I am very tempted for next season and my brother sounds interested.

Actually Asmodan ... that link is NOT the same. That site is dead and doesn't have the latest version of anything. Just for the record.

DD, look forward to hearing from you.
