I have found a small but fatal bug having to do with the source file's format. My program checks your source file to see if it contains all the fields necessary for getting the "picks" for that particular universe. When it sees differences it tries to report them and then should go on and load your data. The bug is that it fails to tell you what the differences are and just stops. I'll have version 1.2a links posted by tomorrow. A work around would be to not "see" but instead just "load" the data anyway and see if you can get picks for at least some of the screens.
