A "batch" file allows you to switch back and forth between single-player leagues and multi-player leagues. Here is the step-by-step process to seperate both single and multi-player universes. This will allow you to access each universe at a double click of an icon.
I got these instructions from the WFL Forums but changed them around a bit to suit the needs for the OSFL so thanks to whomever made these.
1. Go to your universe directory maintained in the FOF Folder on your computer (usually C:\Program Files\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\universe)
2. Create a folder called "OSFL" and a folder called "NFL" (the "OSFL" folder will be your MP folder for the OSFL and the "NFL" folder will be your single player folder with the NFL team names and cities.
3. Now copy the original "frfoot.fcy", "frfoot.fni" and "frfoot.fgr" files from your "UNIVERSE" folder into your "NFL" folder.
4. Now download the fcy, fgr and fni files from the OSFL website and extract these files into you "OSFL" folder.
5. Next on the list is getting your logos in the right folders. Download the "OSFL" logos (the *.bmp files once available) and put them in your "OSFL" folder.
6. Put your "NFL" logos (*.bmp files) or the logos which automatically came with the game into your "NFL" directory.
Now that you have done that, you have all the files in the right spot. Next up is making a batch file that will move the files around everytime you load the game. It's not hard, just cut and paste. So let's move on.
7. Right-click on your desktop and select "New-->Text Document".
8. When that opens up you want to copy 3ric's code from from verbatim into the text document.
9. Click the "Save as" for this file and name it "OSFL.bat" (you may need to change the "Save as type" to "Any file" and leave encoding as default. Then you want to copy this file into your directory that frfoot.exe file is (your FOF2007 home directory)
10. Repeat steps 7-9 but exchange OSFL with NFL and use the following 3ric *.bat code.
11. Right click the OSFL.bat file, highlight send to, and send it to the desktop to create a desktop shortcut. Do the same with the NFL.bat file.
Now, when you run the "OSFL.bat" file, it copies all the files associate with the OSFL into FOF2007 and starts the game. You are now in MP heaven. And when you run the "NFL.bat" file, it copies all the files associated with the NFL into your FOF2007 and starts the game. Now you are in Single Player heaven. All you have to do is double click the icon created on your desktop to transfer back and forth between the files.
It sounds tough but it's really simple and you will be able to play both single-player and multi-player games.

copy universe\OSFL\frfoot.fni universe\
copy universe\OSFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\OSFL\frfoot.fgr universe\
copy universe\OSFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe
copy universe\OSFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\OSFL\frfoot.fgr universe\
copy universe\OSFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe
10. Repeat steps 7-9 but exchange OSFL with NFL and use the following 3ric *.bat code.
copy universe\NFL\frfoot.fni universe\
copy universe\NFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\NFL\frfoot.fgr universe\
copy universe\NFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe
copy universe\NFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\NFL\frfoot.fgr universe\
copy universe\NFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe
Now, when you run the "OSFL.bat" file, it copies all the files associate with the OSFL into FOF2007 and starts the game. You are now in MP heaven.

but i'm sure it'll help someone with a basic knowledge of computers.
