IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING MANIFEST CREATOR AND JMRI 5.9.1 & ABOVE
MC1-4JMRI has been updated - 07/18/24
JMRI OPS PRO introduced three new fields in the CSV files used by Manifest Creator. This is an easy thing for me to fix. HOWEVER, I have made many individual modifications to the various versions of MC that you might be running. For that reason let's follow this process.
===============================================================================================
================================================================================================
o If you do not plan on upgrading JMRI above 5.9.0, you need to do nothing.
================================================================================================
o I will upgrade the versions on the site to work with the new CSV Files.
Announcements will be sent via the JMRI User Group when each Version is ready.
A notice on each version's page will be made when that version is complete.
You are more than welcome to download any version once it has been updated.
================================================================================================
o If you need to protect your preferences and Format (in earlier versions - MC1 and MC2)
or if you believe I made specific changes in your release,
or if you want to keep what you have,
send me the file(s) required to run your version.
================================================================================================
o I will make the updates and return your special release.
================================================================================================
Thank you for your patience while I catch up.

The Creators
The Creators provide alternatives to the Manifests that are produced by JMRI Operations system. There are currently seven different Creators for you to select. These vary from producing Manifests to Car Cards and even Train Orders, Switch Lists, Location Lists, Way Bills, and Way Cards. Each option has it's own section within the Website. Below are some sample documents from the different versions. The Pros and Cons of each format will be described on subsequent pages. Downloads of the files required to run each specific version are also found on their specific version page. These are found in the individual sub-sections within THE CREATORS section. You will find some general use files on the actual Creators page. Please make sure you check this out. Although not necessary you might find them useful in your use with The Creators, which ever one you decide upon using.
There are specific requirements that your computer must meet in order to take advantage of these Creators. This is explained in the REQUIREMENTS section.
The original Creator came about in a rather strange way. Read this history in the HISTORY section.
Finally, if you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions use the handy Form in the CONTACT AUTHOR section.
If you have what is needed and try a Creator or two, I hope you find them user friendly and useful. Also, I would like to hear from you if you are now using a Creator or have just downloaded your first attempt.
