The other day I read in the newspaper that and file can be imported into 
El-Fish. After a little experimentation, I discovered how to do it. You truncate
the file to the size of the ROE files, thenm restore the ROE file to a fish.
In the process of playing around with this I found they byte that declares a 
fish to be a mutant. It was really simple actually. Just change the first byte
of the ROE file from ASCII HEX 20 to 00. The fish will no longer be sterile and
can breed and evolve like any other fish. (Now maybe I'll be able to breed
something that looks like a shark.)

BTW, does anyone know of an Email address at Maxis for customer questions or 
feedback? Thanks.
