Infos:

With the new launch pad buttons I recommand you to put all the executable files in the same directory.

If you use a high resolution screen, some forms could appear to small. With the starwin.ini file this problem should be fixed for the main browser form, but not for all the others forms. It's difficult for me to fix this one cause I get an old little screen, I'll try to look at it when I'll have the opportunity to work on a bigger one...

Crystal Ball:

Things that could be here in the future, I give some release dates for these programs, I'm not sure if I'll respect these dates . It's here only for indication, and like Microsoft, my programs are always in late and with lot of bugs:

Star Doc: all the updated formulas and file formats (Perhaps this year)
New rpg systems supported (Fudge, Star Trek...).
New doc file: it's something that I always wanted to do but didn't have time. My help file is a little succint and disorganzied, with the new html format perhaps someone will help me to write a better one...
An addon that export StarGen files to a database format that will let you browse your main datas with Access.
And of course I'll update Star generator as new bugs will be fixed or new features will be added.

I would like to thanks Fabricio Cesar Franco, James Alan Young, MJ Lush, Steve, Alan Kohler, John Dollan, Noel Weer, Galt, Adam and Matthew and all the others for their suggestions and supports. Also a big thanks to Stephan Aspridis who gave me the reasons why a fluorine atmosphere couldn't exist and the authorization to use his Galactic program formulas.
Rob Hull has made a 32 bit version of Star Generator v1.2 and Alien v1.0, his site has also Serge Caron's Alien Generator in C.
