Route_Riter v7 - A Suite of Utilities for Microsoft Train Simulator

Introduction

Route_Riter v7 is a suite of over 110 utilities for performing various actions on sections of the Microsoft Train Simulator program.

Route_Riter is freeware however users who choose to make a donation
will enable the continued development of the program will receive
a licence which, when installed, activates extra content in the program.
When I have received your donation, I will send a link to your licence and installation instructions via email.
If you have not received an email from me within 24 hours, please email me direct with details.
I am now sending links to the license due to some ISPs removing attachments from mails I have sent.
