RE: SAV/RST formats

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

If you are having problems restoring multiples
from the CD does this sound like it might work?
Create a seperate save file for the different type
objects. Then save all of your "stuff" those save
files. Save all of those save files to the single SAVF
Now that save file contains multiple saves and your
LODRUN could restore the multiples.

Not very elegant sounding but in theory it should work.

I assume you have seen these:
