I don't recall having problems with loading "HH" into JSWED, but if
there are any, I would suggest: load "HH" (either version) into an
emulator, save it as an SNA file, and then load it into JSWED. I
think it should do the trick.

While on this subject, it is worth reminding that some time ago
there was some discussion in the Group about how many versions of HH
there really are, and the conclusion was that there are at least
three versions. I can't rememember message numbers, but they are
probably easy to find with the search engine. Also, Andrew Broad
certainly points to all of the three known versions on his list of
MM/JSW games (address well known :-) ).

Another point, a bit of self-advertisement really, is to remind
those who may have missed some developments on the scene in recent
years that "Willy's Hoard" is a 2006 remake of "HH", with most of
the rooms transferred to a proper JSW game engine, twenty-six brand-
new rooms added (75 rooms in total, a record for a JSW48 game) and
some other interesting features. It can be downloaded freely from
http://xa.bi/jsw/whoard.htm .

Let us know, Scarpo, if you have managed to load "HH" into JSWED :-)
