I've been using the EGA version of Wanderer for about a week now, and it's great. But what is the password for editing the scores file? Even with the no_psw option, it wants a password, and I want to clean up some mis-typed names. Also, is the EXIT the only way to advance to the next level? -- Ross Fraser @ AG Communication Systems, Phoenix AZ uucp ...!asuvax!gtephx!fraserr

The score file has no encryption. You can edit it with either a binary editor (such as in PC Tools or Norton Utilities) or a text editor that handles binary (such as Epsilon or EMACS). The fields are fixed length with null fill. While you are editing, you can change your highest level so that you can "~" to any puzzle! > >Also, is the EXIT the only way to advance to the next level?

I need some help here on figuring how to change the levels, mine has my name but then a bunch of null characters as you stated then something such as F-m^ (what does this mean) help would be appreciated. michael a. packer return address above is wrong so please post or mail to: packer@a.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (thanks) USMAIL: 318 Knapp Hall, WVU, Morgantown, WV 26506 PHONE: 304 293-3607 INTERNET : packer@a.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu USENET: {allegra,bellcore,ihpn4!cadre,decvax!idis,psuvax1}!pitt!wvucsa!packer

Re: Wanderer et al. Try: wanderer -? and get a display of runtime parameters, including how to get it to start on a screen of your choice instead of going back to screen 1. (Pst, the password is: "tina")

But due to some error in coding the level jumping routine the password is stored at four or five different places in the executable. The next version will correct this (but why should we have a password, then :-) ? ). >> fill. While you are editing, you can change your highest level so that you >> can "~" to any puzzle! The password for changing the score file as well as the password for level jumping is 'tina'. No use to fiddle with the score file this way. > I need some help here on figuring how to change the levels, mine > has my name but then a bunch of null characters as you stated then >something such as F-m^ (what does this mean) help would be appreciated. For those of you who just can't live without it. Here is the structure definition for the score file entries: typedef struct { char howdead[25]; char name[20]; long score; int level; int maxlevel; int uid; } score_entry; Hope this let's you sleep again. ...urs
