That's a pretty good idea. Also the name of the level recorded is
stored in the file (of course), and if you make a new LPB format you
should make it possible to edit that name. I once recorded a level I
made (it took a while), then, later, I changed the name for that
level. Now, each time I want to Play that Playback I will have to
enter the Editor and change the name of the level back to the
original before starting the Playback.
I suppose it's possible to edit that kind of information in the LPB
via a Hex Editor, but I'm not very skilled in that :)
