FORAY IN THE FOREST - SAVEGAME CONVERTER
========================================

This is a DOS program that allows you to convert your old savegames from
version 1.0 of Foray in the Forest into a file format that the new version 2.0
can handle.

You can also use this tool to copy games that were saved in either of the new
versions into the other version.

*******************************************************************************
 WARNING: Converting savegames with this tool will force you to restart the
 current level! It's best to use it on games that were saved on the world map.
*******************************************************************************

Simply copy the file SAVECONV.EXE into your Foray in the Forest directory and
run it. It will read all the savegame files in that directory and show you a
list of all the games. In addition to the name, it will also display the
current score, the score the game will reset to after the conversion, the level
number (LV), the number of completed levels (DN), the difficulty level (SKILL)
and the game version (VER) for each savegame.

Simply use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the game you want to convert
and press Enter to select it. An arrow symbol will appear to the left of that
game's name and the text in the blue window at the bottom will change into
"Step 2: Select savegame slot to write to." Now use the arrow keys to highlight
the slot you want to write the converted savegame to and press Enter again. You
can write the savegame back to the same slot if you are converting a save from
v1.0 into a save for the Xky-Keen version 2.0, but you don't have to.

If you have selected a write slot that was not empty, you will be asked for
confirmation before the old file gets overwritten. Press Y to confirm or press
N to abort. After the new file has been written, the blue window will show
either a success message or a failure message. Simply press a key to make that
message go away.

If you want to copy a saved game from the "Xky Keen" version into the "Classic"
version, you need to select the desired slot from the top section ("XKY-KEEN")
and then write it into a slot in the bottom section ("CLASSIC").

Please note that this tool comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY whatsoever. Use it
at your own risk.
