Cyberpunk 2020 Lifepath Generator
by Luke Twigger <LXT510@bham.ac.uk>

This is a freeware program, distribute as much as you want, please keep all the files together. This readme.txt file should be accompanied by:

lifepath.exe - executable lifepath generator
lifepath.bas - QuickBASIC source code for lifepath.exe
sample.txt - sample output from lifepath.exe

The author is not linked in any way to R Talsorian Games, this is an unofficial product designed to make life slightly easier. If you are fed up of rolling on the many tables to generate a lifepath for a character who only lasts for one play session, why not try this program out? Full descriptions of all the results can be found in the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook pages 24-29. I haven't been able to generate every option exactly as described in the rules eg a financial windfall should be d10*$100 but, due to a lack of programming skill, I have put $500 as I cannot get it to randomly generate the figure by itself and I decided that it would be pointless to ask you to roll randomly as that was the whole point of this program - to avoid the dice throws :)

The author is not liable for any damage etc if this program screws up your machine, life, etc. However, it is so simple that I don't foresee any difficulties.

If anyone has any suggestions, complaints, comments etc please email them to me at the above address. It was a fun project to write this - the worst bit was the many nested IF..THEN statements which got a bit confusing, I hope you find this useful,

PS R Talsorian, if you're reading this, please don't sue me ;) this product is designed to make Cyberpunk easier and I'm not making any money from this.
