	There used to be three files but we only use two in winSPMBT. I went through the Game Guide before we released the game and removed  ( I thought....) all references to three files. If you can point me at the section of GG that says three files are used in PBEM  I will remove it for the 2.5 patchQuote:

 He is only sending me 2 zipped files
 the CMT and the DAT files.
 I notice the manual mentions 3 files??
 Is he supposed to be also zipping the PBEM registry Dat file?

 The PBEM registry Dat was to be used for an idea when never implemented but may someday and has no ( current ) use in the game

 Thanks for all the replys guys...I could not play the dos versions 

 so I am relearning all over again.  
 
  
here is a couple of sections of the manual that reference 3 files. All our found under the PBEM section, one starts out mentioining 2 then changes to 3.
"In a remote game, player 1 now sends  
the 3 zipped  up files to player 2, who places the zip file somewhere safe (remember to keep all the zips in case of need to reload) and unzips the files contained in this to his [WinSPMBT]\Saved Games or [WinSPMBT]\PBEM Games (if secure) directory under windows."
"These 2 files are what we transfer to the other player, however, these can be rather large, and so it is best to zip these up using WINZIP, ensure that both of you use the same file compression utility, whichever you choose (negotiate this between yourselves as part of your battle setup emails). Winzip comes on the front cover CD ROMS of most decent computer magazines usually under the utilities section. It is the premier zip package, also at 
www.winzip.com. With winzip installed, there is a right mouse click extension to zip the files,  
select the 3,  right click with mouse, select zip and enter a file name."
