The XML parser is done. Yay! I hate parsing; it's too easy to make stupid logic errors writing the code for it. I really need to learn MSXML which will help in the long run, but I don't think I will be reading/writing much XML overall. Another day, perhaps.
Next up is coding the manual scratch routine. I still haven't decided on how to display the horses or how the user will do the scratches. Checkboxes? Double Listview boxes with one containing running horses and the other the scratches? A single Listview with some kind of scratch indicator: a different font color (red maybe), Strikethrough text, Italics... I will probably wind up with what is easiest for me to code.
My expectation is to have a version ready for my beta testers within a week. I hope.
