About J-Tools
|
|
J-tools are utilities written for the support of internet leagues running Sierra's Football Pro Series '95, '96, '97, or '98. They are designed with the purposes of making the management and updating of web based FBPro leagues a much easier task, and of providing information not normally available from within the games statistical data bases.

Well, after some major problems with my hosting company, the site is back up. Bear with me while I find and fix anything that might not be working.
Currently I'm not working on anything new, nor will I be any time soon. The site will remain up to support those who are currently using, or plan on using the utilities.
If you're looking for a utility that you don't see here, check out the
old site, it may still be there.

Registration Info |
 | |
|
J-Tools are shareware programs, some of which require a registration fee to enable full functionality. All of the tools will work on 10 team FBPro leagues for the purpose of evaluating them, but require registration to work with any other league size, eliminate the startup screen, and engage certian registered features.
There are now two ways to register your programs!
Method 1
To register program(s) print the register.txt file included in the distribution archive, fill it out, then mail it to me along with your payment. Be sure to include the Software code for the program(s) you are registering. I will then email you the
registration codes that you will enter in to your program(s). Allow up to a week when registering by this method.
Method 2
To register program(s) edit the register.txt file included in the distribution archive with a text editor, then e-mail it to me. Be sure to include the Software code for the program(s) you are registering.
Next follow this link to PayPal and register with their service. You can then use a credit card or electronic transfer of bank funds to send your payment! Use the e-mail address jtool@first-n-goal.com when using PayPal to send funds.
I will then email you the
registration codes that you will enter in to your program(s). Response time should be 24 hours or less when registering by this method! Remember, use the e-mail address jtool@first-n-goal.com when using PayPal to send funds.

Registering will enable the program to be used with all league sizes, as well as eliminate the startup registration screen. In the future, new features may be added to some of the programs which may only work in registered versions. Registered users will be notified by e-mail of future upgrades as they become available, so be sure to include your e-mail address when registering.
As a special offer, a flat fee of $25.00 will allow you to register all of the current programs, as well as any future releases. The $25.00 need not be sent all at once. As you register individual programs a total will be maintained, and once the $25.00 is reached you can register any further programs at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions |
| Got a question? If you don't want to mail me and wait for a response, check this page out. Someone else may have asked it before and your answer may be right here. |
|
| Registration Payment by Credit Card |
| A new method of registration has been added. You can now pay by credit card if you register for a PayPal Account. |
| |
| RMUpdate Registration |
| Owners of individual teams in a league do not need to register RMUpdate. The only person who needs to register a single copy is the commissioner of the league. |
| |
| Camps and Expanded Rosters |
| If you are using the expanded rosters tool to add extra guys to your roster before training camp you will be happy to know that they will train if you use my camp tool. If you use FBPro's built in camp, you're out of luck, but Camp Complete does recognize and train them. |
| |
| Previous Payments Toward Registration |
| If you were one of the people nice enough to send me money before registrations were required I thank you and want you to know that your payment does apply towards the current registration fees. Contact me about getting your registration keys. |
| |
| Camp Complete Registration |
| To clear up any confusion, the only copy that needs to be registered is the league commissioners. Team owners do not have to have a registered copy to create the data files for training camps. |
| |
| League and Roster Files |
| Sorry, I don't collect or supply roster files for past season. There are sites out there who do make such files available though. |
| |
| FBPro 99 |
| I have no intentions of adding support for FBPro 99 leagues to any of the utilities. |
| |
| No response from program |
| If you've clicked on your league file name and nothing seems to be happening, wait a bit. The sort routine in some of the older programs is a little slow in sorting out the league data. |
| |
| ITC and Runtime Error 6 |
| The cause for this error is a player who has a skill rating in which the actual rating is higher than his potential rating. Find the culprit and edit his stats to eliminate the problem. By the way, any league using masked potentials is not going to be able to train with any player file other than the master file. |
| |
| MSVBVM50.DLL |
| Several of the older programs require the msvbvm50.dll file in order to run. It is available for downloading from the OLD sites UTILITIES page. You can find a link to the old site on the homepage. Place it in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. |
| |
| Missing .PYC file |
| If you're using the COLLEGE utility and it can't find a PYC file, it's because you're currently not in a college draft and have no rookies to assign colleges to. |
| |
| Baseball Pro |
| Sorry, I don't do baseball programs. |
| |
| Registration Payment Methods |
| Currently the only registration payment is by check or money order. Hopefully in the future credit card payments will be possible. |
