GTISW shipbuilder released

[TheDS]

I've decided to go ahead and post the current version of my ship-building spreadsheet, so that it could be used by those of you chomping at the bit to make your own ships. The file was made using Excel and a large quantity of gadgets so that typing things in has been reduced to a minimum; you can build your whole ship without touching the keyboard.

In this thread I have asked a few questions, most of which went unanswered. In addition to still needing these questions answered, I could also use a little help in regards to the "directions for use". To me, the sheet is fairly obvious in how it works, except for a couple things. I put in lots of notes that can be read by hovering over them, but in the intro page, I tried to go over a few of the more obscure things, and even I realize I did a lousy job with those instructions. So, if you want, please let me know how to better do this.

Naturally, if there are any errors or problems, I'd like to know so I can fix them. My email address is in the sheet for particularly long or mundane issues, or if you want to make sweeping changes to the sheet and send me the changed sheet and give me a better idea what you're talking about. (Turn on Track Changes if you do this.)

Here's the link
If the download doesn't start right after you click this link, please read post #3, below. The failures I'm seeing on the server can be cured with the very first tip.

UPDATE: Try this new link, which leads to a public MSN folder. You have the choice of downloading the file zipped or not zipped. I may put other items there later, once I get verification from some of you that this link works as expected. Hopefully no one will have to create an MSN account to access these files. What you should see upon clicking this link is a picture of a folder behind a globe. Click that, and you will be taken into all the public folders. Right now, there's only the two files, but later, I may have more files for you to play with, and they may be in further folders. Please let me know if there's any problems with this.
