understood!.
however it is kindof strange. :) i guess it is because of
HotSync :) you dont get to access the creatorID from the file
name it generates.
it is a pretty bad restriction! i guess from a developers
point of view, it can always be hidden from the "user" with
smart coding.
ie: when creating, prefix the creator ID,
when accessing, remove the creator ID from the front.
it should be invisible to the user.
small about of "extra" coding :P
PS: How is Jane going with LodeRunner? passed level 70? :))
