That aspect of JSWED has been around for quite a while; I used it to
create JSW2: Super Pre-School Edition. Hence also my comment in
message 4604 about the JSW2 compression system; the compressor in
JSWED was able to fit 135 rooms into JSW2:SPSE as opposed to 134 in
JSW2 itself.

I don't think it'll be quite as flexible as JSW64 but still it's
definately worth getting excited about.

It allows guardians to collide with things. That's got to be worth
something.

Only problem is when I got the download from WoS converted to a .sna
and loaded into JSWED, only the HEX edit page would display. I also
tried .z80 and a couple of other save formats to no avail. Maybe I
grabbed the wrong version or something.

Weirdness. In my copy there's a string at #6480 reading

THE FINAL FROINTIER BY D.P.ROWSON.

and I thought it would be in all copies, so I made JSWED check for it.
Try entering it with the Hex editor, saving, and then reloading. For
ease of keying, it should look like this in the editor:

6480: THE FINA
6488: L FROINT
6490: IER BY D
6498: .P.ROWSO
64A0 N.

Oh and where does one download MM 128?

The bottom of Dr. Broad's list - just before "Other Future Games".
