@ Mr. Rose - The people just don't understand, they never will.

@ zindras -Thank you for posting how you feel. Please let me express my feeling on this subject as well.

Exactly, the program would have no worth, but I kinda like the convenience of generating and tinkering with my army lists. So, to me the program does have value. It's a great medium to build a datafile and build my army. If no one would to volunteer to create the file then Army Builder would be useless. However that will never happen, because we have something that drives us to do it for free, its called passion.

Cool, Great, You pay the software license fees too, just like us all! You are encouraged to do what we do then too. Build Datafiles! With your paid license you do get the authoring program and even some lessons to use it. The other option is not pay the fees, which just means you will have to write your lists by hand or use another program that will have similar limits to what you get here.

It gets tiring to keep explaining the same things over and over again. The other thread had gotten over 1500 hits currently, If you can read that THREAD over real good, you will find the wisdom on what and why things are the way they are(HINT: the two other threads I linked to).
I get no thrill in quoting myself but here is the answer on when the files will be ready.

Lastly,
Thank you to those who are willing and patient, each every time something like this pops up. The same names are there every time...
