The next revision of AutoMagic will be released soon, (as soon as the
bug checking is done). This is the last call for feature requests.

So far, the next AutoMagic revision will have the following
enhancements:

EXCEL 2003 & XML IMPORT: This should be resolved so that you don't need
to change your XML file to a TXT file before importing.

AUTO-ORDERS COST: Orders costs will calculate automatically on the
EconoCalc sheet, (with the exception of buy/sells).

LOST PRODUCT: Added a line to the EconoCalc sheet to subtract
commodities (in anticipation of PC losses, season changes, or whatever).

BID PRICE: Added a separate section for bidding on the EconoCalc sheet
were you can put in a bid price and amount. (The 20% buy/sell SNA does
NOT apply to bidding.)

ARTIFACT SHEET: Adjusted the formatting slightly to match that found in
AutoMinister.

ENHANCED TURN INFORMATION: Comments are those small red triangles within
certain cells that pop up a text box when you move the mouse cursor over
them. AutoMagic normally just uses comments to provide help with certain
sections. Now it will use dynamically updated comments to provide
additional turn information.

ARTIFACT INFO: If a character posesses artifacts, a Comment will be
placed in the CHARACTER NAME cell showing which artifacts they possess.

ARMY INFO: If a character commands an army, a Comment will be placed in
the LOCATION HEX cell showing army info, including troop numbers and
characters travelling with the army.

SPELL INFO: If a character is a mage, a Comment will be placed in the
SKILLS cell showing spell info, including name, number, and casting
rank.

These comments will be deleted (and replaced) each time AutoMagic
imports a new XML turn file.

Are there any other issues that need to be addressed, or suggestions for
improvements?
