- I have finally finished a (relatively) good dungeon program, in which you
- can go around a 169 room dungeon, fight monsters, etc. I recently added
- a "save" and "load" feature which lets people save a (Only one) saved
- game (to a data file) or load a saved game (from the data file). In this
- data file goes the players statistics, & what the coordinates of the room
- he's in. The problem is, anybody can edit the file, and, say, change his
- "Gold" to 1000000, or whatever. How could I prevent this?

- Incidently, what's the major difference between Turbo Pascal 6.0 & Turbo
- Pascal 7.0 (I heard it costs $500, so I want to know if the changes would
- help me a bunch, or whether or not I could safely live with Turbo 6.0)
