Recent Changes to the Data Format
---------------------------------

If you're experiencing problems getting this version of Mapper to read
an old map, please note the following changes to the data format:

v0.3 began grouping worlds under the "maps" directory.

v0.4 expanded the colorkey.dat file. See maps\sample\map\colorkey.dat
   for an example of this, and read help\qna\data\colorkey.txt for an
   explanation.

v0.5 began separating location files into subdirectories under each
   world's "loc" directory based on what map page they reside within.
   See maps\sample\loc for an example of this. Created an "obj"
   directory under each world for objects.dat and all associated
   objects (basically mobile locations).

If you have trouble getting things to work, please send me a copy of
your world, and I'll try to sort things out. Changes in the format
have been coming so rapidly that I haven't had time to sit down and
write map conversion utilities, but I'll be happy to bring your world
up to date with the latest format if you send me a copy.
