CaskBill's Tools availability question

[PSC]

Now that the 2011 points charts are out, is there any word on the availability of the updated CaskBills DVC planning tools? I'm sure many others are big fans of the tools and are looking forward to their revival.

There is currently a team of folks working on updating Caskbill's programs.

I will post an update as soon as I have additional info.

I thought his widow posted that it would not be continued.

Caskbill's wife reported that the updates will not be made for many various reasons. I can tell you that Bill's programs were quite complicated and are written in a language that Microsoft rumors will not run on any future OS it makes after Windows 7.

And I've heard Windows 7 does not support the developers tools needed to re-write portions of the programs.

We still use Caskbill's programs to run the Rent/Trade board and the Availability board, but are only able to make minor changes to that programming.

What a bummer. Any other tools out there similar?
