+#* '''CreateMissing.exe''' is also written in C#, created, and developed, by Mark Crossley
-#*  Using '''CreateMissing.exe''' is fully documented at [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe]] in this Wiki (it will populate missing fields in [[standard log files]] and/or missing lines in [[dayfile.txt]]),
+#* Download '''Create Missing zip file''' from the link at [[Software#Create_Missing]]
-#* Simple Instructions for using this executable are on the github page where they are found, you can find the link for that at [[Software#Create_Missing]] in this Wiki.

-As at 9 March 2020, there is another utility, '''CreateRecord''', initialised in the Github areas managed by the developer where Cumulus is worked on.  This will, if my understanding is correct, read [[dayfile.txt]] and use that to update the various [[:Category:Ini Files|extreme record files]].  However, at the time of writing this, it is nothing more than a concept that needs to be coded, and (as far as I know) there has been no progress on that utility for at least 4 months.
+As at 9 March 2020, another utility, '''CreateRecord''', has been initialised in the Github areas managed by the developer where Cumulus is worked on, although it appears to be just a concept (any code on the developer's computer has not yet been included) on github.  This will, if my understanding is correct, read [[dayfile.txt]] and use that to update the various [[:Category:Ini Files|extreme record files]].
