  This may be a silly question, but if you have a saved game from
one of the built-in levels of Dest Saturn, is there a way to convert
it to a Descent (full version) saved game? So that you can continue
playing the rest of the full version levels that come after it?
  Just copying the sg* files over to the new directory gives you a
mission not found error. If you go into the sg file with a binary
file editor and change the mission name; the level will load, but
strange things start happening once you start to move, and the game
crashes soon after. And one of the freeware game editors got tried,
but it didn't seem to include that option.
  If anyone knows the answer, thank you. I got asked this, and I
don't know. 3d games give me a headache.
