Addendum
=======================================================================
Live '98 Workbench is a Visual Basic 5.0 application that allows the 
user to edit much of the data used in NBA Live '98.  Before use, 
however, please be sure to back up all the data you plan to edit.
I hold no responsibility for damage to files, or to the game itself, 
if any should occur due to use of the Live '98 Workbench.  I am in
no way affiliated with EA Sports, nor with the NBA Live production
team.

The Workbench is released as freeware.  Updated versions of the 
Workbench can be found at:
