Default Re: Help with Pbem

Well, it's rather simple to start a pbem game : choose a acenario -or create one- then put both sides on "human player". Then you'll have to enter a password and save the game immediately, to send it to your opponent who will also have to enter a password.
The trick is that the save files are "coded" in the "PBEM games" folder under WinSPWW2 as "speml00x.dat" and speml00x.cmt with "x" being the slot number of the save in the list (visible when you save the game).
Send the files to your opponent, he will then have to play and resend you back the saves.

Is that clear ?
