### Converting Scenarios between Mac-Deluxe and Mac-Classic (and back)

    Converting a Mac-Deluxe scenario into a Mac-Classic Scenario:

    1. First use the scenario installer to install the .SCZ file.
    2. Don't worry about army or city sets and all that stuff.  This only needs to
    	work for scenarios with default graphics and standard armies.
    3. Create a new random Classic scenario to use as a template.
    4. make backup copies of both Classic Template and Deluxe scenario
    5. Open both with ResEdit
    6. Copy the CTY, ITM, RD, SCEN, SCN, SGN and SPC resources from
    	Deluxe to Classic.  For each of these resources, do the
    	Get Resource Info and delete the Name.
    7. Open the DAT resource and copy the "Sceninfo".
    	Change the ID so the Deluxe version overwrites the Classic version.
    	Don't copy the armydata or other resources.
    8. Open the MAP resource in both versions.  The Deluxe version
    	is longer.  But all the extra length is just zero-padding on
    	the end!  Delete all the extra zeroes in the Deluxe MAP
    	until the two maps are the same (correct) length.  Now
    	copy the Deluxe MAP over onto the Classic MAP.  Delete the
    	name of the resource so that it is blank.
    	(In Get Resource Info)
    9. The NAME resource should not change until you decide what
    	to rename the scenario on the Classic side.  But make it
    	purgeable to match the Deluxe version.
    10. Copy the PICT resources for the scenario graphic and
    	strategic map, eliminating the original Classic graphics
    11. Now go to WarCorrespondent, open up the Classic army set you want to
    	use with the new scenario (perhaps the one you ported from
    	Deluxe? :)  ), and use the "Insert into Scenario" feature to
    	insert it into your new Mac-Classic Scenario!

    THAT'S IT!!!

    (Same procedure works for Classic to Deluxe, more or less.)
