TOS+ History

History

TOS+ has a long History over the years!

Wondering WHY this project started? Well, it all started a couple of decades ago when I was looking for an automated Excel Character Sheet to handle my gaming needs... The only viable tool available, was a slow and ugly thing called PCGEN...arggg!

That tool was supposed to be the best, but I found it did NOT fill my gaming needs. Hence, work on what would become TOS+ started all those years ago!!
