I'm working on customizing the CARTYPES.CSV file for both ActivityMaster and ActivityGenerator and I have a couple of questions. I think I may know the answers, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
1. Do KEYS (column 1) match substrings or whole words only? Will "BOX" match "BOX", "BOXx" and BOXl" or only "BOX"? 2. Can a wagon be (deliberately) assigned to more than one cartype? Could ATSF276502 be assigned as both car type BOX and ACME? This would allow creating a car type for an industry that would receive and ship both box cars and reefers. 3. The CARTYPES.CSV that ships with ActivityMaster has an entry in column 3 (E, L or X) that seems to indicate a loaded or empty wagon. I know that this is not currently implemented, but should I included this column in my custom CARTYPES.CSV file to be ready for an expected update. -------------------- ...rich

If you watch the Video Tutorial it won't be nearly as painful! I'm a lot better at showing how things work than trying to explain them. Steve -------------------- Steve Davis
