howdy, long time no see WhiteKnight.
get yourself a hex editor such as Ultra Edit , and change the first 2 hexes in each file to FF FE. Save them, and then you can open them in notepad. You may notice that the first letter of the first word in the decoded message is missing. IIRC, you should change it to W, as I think the first word is weapon. Once you open the file in notepad you'll see what I mean. Oh and make sure the properties of the files are not set to 'read only'
Hope this helps, as I don't have SFC2 on my pc anymore

Hi, my modelling has been sparse of late, due to my daughter now taking up all my time, and with another one on the way, it's not looking like i'll have any "free" time at all

Anyway i'm doing what i can when i can
