Looking at a couple of different "SAV" save files, of known content,
using Norton DE, I couldn't find anything in recognizable Unicode. I
randomly tried converting a couple of interesting-looking byte strings
into EBCDIC; they came out "QSRDSSPC.1" and "L/D OBJECT DESCRIPTOR" On
the other hand, I could fairly easily find recognizable file content,
scattered around.

I guess I'll try putting them into flat database files, to see if they
look like anything in QuestView next. Any other suggestions?

And to reiterate, I'm interested in getting the directory tree of the contents.
