	See the post I did last night for multiplayer offsets. For normal
missions, use a hex editor to find them. Or, use view to look at the 
general.mix file - it'll show 118 things. Extract using the offsets, and
if you get a text file, it's scenario info, otherwise it's probably a map.
Maps always come after the scenario info, so once you find the scenario
info, look for an offset just after that...

	Andrew got the name wrong... scg01ea.ini
