Last fall I wrote my first full featured Classic Traveller, Book 1, Character Generator using Perl. Over the last week I decided to learn C#, so I started over from scratch and built another version. That program, TravCharGen Ver 0.7, is available at DropBox for downloading as a ZIP archive. (Both links are the same, one is redirected via TinyURL shortcut)
The program is written in C#, using Visual Studio Express 2010. It runs on Windows PCs as a console application (command window).
Why only Version 0.7? I still need to:
My contact information is listed with the program archive. I am very interested in any feedback (bug reports, user interface issues, areas for improvement, etc).
Below I've listed a few example characters produced by the program.

Why only Version 0.7? I still need to:
- Implement the Mustering Out tables
- Add the service automatic skills (e.g. for rank)
- Add the checks for stat losses due to age
- Finishing the Cascade Skills (Gun Combat, Meleet Combat, etc)
- Adding more error checking to Manual operation mode.
- Adding options to specify filter criteria (terms, service, etc) for automatic generation.
- Deplying a Forms (GUI) version.
- Adding a configuration file for specifying options in lieu of command line switches.
- Incorporating the other Classic Traveller books (Mercenary, High Guard, Scouts, Merchants).
