Well, here's the first release of the RadioStationManager (such as it is). The ONLY function available with this version is the button that prepares your radio stations for your patrol to start (or resume). It's JSGME ready and comes with a very short README (for the moment. Will do better documentation as it progresses). Please read the readme before you use this app.
You can download it at

I would highly recommend backing up your radio.ini and events.ini files before the first time you use this tool. It is set up to make a backup of the files it changes, but if you don't realize something is wrong until you've used it a couple times and the latest backup is hosed, then you're out of luck.
You will need to have .NET 2 installed for this app to work on your computer. I realize this is a problem for some folks, but at the moment I don't have the tools to do the job without it (nor the inclination to spend a bunch of time learning something new). I have no clue whether it works on W2K or not because I don't have a running machine with W2K installed at the moment. Anyone who wants to try it out on a W2K machine, please let me know if it works.
What you'll see when you run it looks something like this
That screenshot was taken right after the "Prepare Stations" function was completed. Note that you can see all the information that's in the files and you change it to your heart's content, but it won't change the data in the files (except for the "Prepare Stations" function) at the moment. I'll be finishing up the rest of the app just as soon as I possibly can. Most of the hard work is done, so it really shouldn't take too long to finish the rest of it.
As always, with me, this is a freeware application. You can distribute it however you like, but you better not charge anything for it or include it in any package that you charge for. If you do, may the fleas of a 1,000 camels infest your most sensitive hairy regions.
All I ask is that you include the original documentation and don't try to take credit for writing it (common sense, I know, but I like to keep my large posterior out of sight). The only other thing that I ask is that you don't blame me if you didn't make backups of your files and they somehow get FUBAR while your using this proggy.
As usual, all constructive (and even facetious and sarcastic) criticism is welcomed.
Enjoy, me heartys
