      I suggest that you get a copy of EVO Developers' Map from Pontus' site at
      (url="http://"http://members01.chello.se/warlordpontus/ev/")http://members01.che...rlordpontus/ev/(/url)

      EVO Developers' Map is much easier to use than ResEdit and more complete and more stable than EV-Edit. It has a graphical interface which displays a map (somewhat similar to EV-Edit's display) where you can place systems and links or go inside the systems to place and edit spöbs.

      The mwthod I use for getting a blank map to stsrt with is to make a duplicate of the 'EV Data' or the 'EVO Data 2' file (depending on whether you are making a plug for EV or EVO), using ResEdit to delete all the 's˙st' resources from the data file, and placing the file in the 'Data Files ƒ' folder in the EVO Developers' Map folder. When ypou start up EVO DevMap, you will have an empty universe you can fill as you please.

      I think he put you on the right track. Good luck!

      To zap out all of the existing stuff, use the annihilation feature in EV Edit (it may not be called this). This feature will set up place holders which overwrite all the current EVO stuff.

      After you've done that, delete EV Edit from your machine and use EVO Developers Map, Schmelta V and ResEdit, like all good space people.

      Funny , I was under the impression that EV-Edit is an annihilation feature. 😄

      Good advice as always, Mr. Turner.

      He's building a new universe... and he needs to ask how.

      This one gets my vote for 'Plugs we'll never see' 🙂

      ...but good luck Mowgli. Enjoy.
