Is it possible to change the list of first names Puresim uses to generate fictional players? I have a couple of nieces who like baseball and ask why they never allow womens leagues in games? (They just saw "A league of their own" for the first time). I would like to be able to replace all the male first names with female names. Is there a file? What is it's name? What woud I need to edit it? Thank-you

I don't see this in the database, so I would have to assume it's hard-coded into the program. Shaun, is this correct?

It's easy enough to change player names manually...I do this all the time, and I have to confess I have women--including my wife--on a couple of my teams. It might get tedious if you are changing dozens or hundreds.

If you are fielding teams of women, remember there's no crying in baseball!

Its all built into the database.

The names along with probabilities and an associated lookup/hash table make it not something I would suggest editing.
