Mike, dude, if you have a prog. that will, (1) let you custom make
ships, (2) 
print said ships out in a ship record sheet as shown in the back of FT,
and 
(3) is shareware, tell me where it is!	This is one reason why I like 
Shareware.  I too was a little skeptical of plunking down $15 for a CD
that 
could be anything; a great, do all, print all for DSII, or a simple
ascii 
text, BASIC coded prog that will (half the time) print out a vehicle
sheet. 
At least with Shareware, if you get it and don't like it, you purge the
prog, 
and you aren't out any money.....
