If your program crashes after you change the stable.dat file, this tip may help some of you out.

If you change the stable name as per DownUnder's instructions, using notepad or wordpad, after you make the changes, save it using ANSI encoding.

Let me elaborate. Download DownUnder's zip file with the excel tool and replacement stable.dat file. Use the excel sheet to generate the replacement text. Open the replacement stable.dat file and replace the lines as described above. At this point, goto File>Save As. Save it into the "Starters Orders" directory where the stable.dat files usually goes. But, in the Save As screen, where you select encoding, choose ANSI. Do not use Unicode or UTF-8.

This is the only way I was able to get the change to work. Hopefully I'll save someone 30 minutes of frustration.
