Hope I'm not the only one who caught the reference to Exile I in Game Informer magazine. Since the game was released in 1995, the mention was in the "classic review" section.

I still think it is great that some shareware games are getting mentioned in magazines aimed towards the commercial market. There are some nice mentions of excellent gameplay overcoming the UI, but I'll let you read for yourselves:

It will be a glorious day indeed if they give mention to some of Spidweb's contemporary games.

That's precisely what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure where the bytes are to flip...

Guess I'll just have to do a little bit of hacking and make some comparisons between the two types of files.

I recall in the old days using a hex editor to beef up my Exile I singleton... Aah, those were the days! :]

I have something of a technical question:
What are the differences between Windows and Mac save files?

I want to port over some save files from a Mac to a Windows machine, and BoE says that the files are invalid. This is probably some very simple high-endian/low-endian difference, but I have no idea which bytes to flip. (Especially if my party is in a scenario!)

Anyone around who knows a solution to this? (or perhaps even knows what I'm talking about)

Hopefully I'd be able to build a file converter if I could figure this out.

Perhaps this is the wrong forum, but I figure it's worth a first shot here. Thank you! :]
