StockCreator This is a little program that was written for the creation of stock files for Fishsim2. You may use it if you please but I don't except any reasonability for anything that may go wrong by using it. I tried to make sure that it will work properly and that it contains no viruses. It does create folders on your C-drive called Fs2Species and store files in it. It is placed in a jr2 file that could be extracted by using jr2ex.exe by Jase or from inside the fishsim2 by going to Options ? Advance ? Import add-on ? find StockCreator.jr2 and click on it and then choose yes. A new folder with the name StockCreator will be created inside you fishsim2 directory. The program is zipped with a free little program called 7-Zip but it can be unzipped by using any zip-program. Just unzip it in the same folder. You will get the normal setup file and the StockCreator Application Manifest and a folder Application Files. Now install the program by clicking setup. The program will start automatically now but to run it again you can start it normally from the Start menu StockCreator or from this folder by clicking on the StockCreator Application Manifest The program store its stock files on the C: driver in a folder Fs2Species from where it must be cut to your venues species folder. (Cut because else the files will remain in the ordinal folder and will be copy to your next venue too) The program don?t look at the difficulty of the stock and that must be done with vencheck or venscan or both by Jase. The one thing that is different from a normal stock file is that there are 2 values for the number of tests. The program uses this to calculated the number of test to perform for each stock. The program will be easy to use for experience stock creators I hope so the rest is for the people not so up-to-date with stock files. The two buttons ? in yellow Make Stock files - will create the stock file with the information that is displayed on the screen. End ? close the program. The white textboxes contain values that may be altered. (Most of them is auto-correcting and will try to make sure that the values are correctly entered ? you are not allowed to enter a value of more or less than the sim allow as I understand it) Number of schools ? is the number of different schools you want to create for the specific species. Name of stocks ? is the name you want to use for the stock in your venue. The rest of the variables are as explained in the fishsim2 manual.
