Donald,
Not only did you screw up the .LPB's, but not filling the holes
left by deleted levels also screwed up the High Scores (.hs) files
for Beginner.lvl and Special.lvl. I.e., above the first deleted
level, the High Scores don't correspond to the Levels. I fixed up my
Special.hs file, but since I deleted/lost my pre-7/18/02 Beginner.lvl
file, I couldn't fix my Beginner.hs file. If you still have the
pre-7/18/02 Beginner.lvl file, would you please email it to me. (I
will outline the 'fix up' proceedure in a separate message.)
Why do you think "it's too much work" to preserve the original
positions of the levels? Just use the LTUS LTCopyLv.exe program to
'overwrite selected levels with selected levels'.
PLEASE: Either, don't "fill in the holes" again. Or, at least,
include a warning if you do.
Regards,
Harvey
