I had a productive holiday (in the US) weekend on the disk. Good
progress was made. If the near term testing goes well, I believe the
disk can be out before Oct 1. I'll let you know if we hit any barriers.

On another note, my condolances to the family, friends, and colleagues
of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey club. A sad sad day.

Been diligently working the disk in my free moments between challenging
work days. Most of the disk has converged well. I'm still struggling
with the penalties a bit. I'd say the testing/tweaking is about 85%
done. If I can get the penalties to converge during the next couple
days, I can then work on moving the disk over to the combined stat set
(multi-team players) and then move toward release. Not sure if I'll make
Oct 1, but it shouldn't be too long after that....a lot depends on the
next 5 days progress on the penalties.

Here is an update on the disk.....
I am finished with testing (actually, I'm running one more set tonight
to make sure things are in line). The next process is to migrate to the
combined disk.....3-4 hours of work. I apologize for the late date, but
my job has been hectic, and we got a late start testing. I appreciate
the patience. I hope to finish up the migration this weekend, and issue
the disk by Tuesday or Wednesday if all is well.

Any info on the release of the disk and where it will be released.

Got disk into final format today. I sent to Herb for error
checking....it was acting up in player.exe, but not in APHComm, so not
sure what's up there. Once we ensure there are no errors, I'll release
the disk. I really hate sending out updates due to errors, so we'll be
looking closely!!!

Hey Dave, is this weekend looking likely?

Thanks,
Lee

I have finished the final error issues on the disk. Thanks to all that
helped run the home stretch (Herb, Brian, Ken, Chris) the past week. I
sent to Brian to post for download. He'll likely provide a link here for
it.
If you find any issues, please let me know ASAP. If I have to issue an
updated disk, I'd prefer to do it before all the leagues have started
using it and have to redact things.
Thanks!
