Response to Why not pass those 2 values in the file too?

the only reason i use A$ and A is to direct the program where to go once it hits a CHAIN command.

for example: in the main menu mod, if you pick C (covert ops), it will CHAIN you to the covertop mod. once that mod starts, it it uses A$ (your last entry) to determine what area of the covertop mod it will start at. this is because several main menu options lead to the same mod. the covert op mod contains the covert ops and the enact policies area.

i didnt put them with the saved game variables file because in some cases, like the instructions, retrieving the saved game files isnt nessessary and would only make the program unnessessarily longer (which it is already)

i also didnt know that brun45.exe is required to use CHAIN. i use qb7.1 does this mean i would have to include a copy of brun45 if someone wants to play the compiled version of this game? i have compiled 3 of the mods before and ran the game without any problems.

one more thing.....any game related issues i should know about or any comments on the current gameplay?
