Notes

It has been 25years since v0.6.

Your operating system may not like either of these files. Try these:
WinXP-SP3
Extract to Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents.
1. Alt-Tab to desktop, run MEXCOMAP.EXE.
2. Copy over your savegame into this folder.
3. Edit, then save. Ignore error messages, if any.
4. Copy edited savegame back to over Savegame folder.
5. Reload the save.
6. Check all your labs for progress.

If the exe is located somewhere other than specified, the program may fail to open the selected savegame.

Other Windows versions may work similar (not tested) since a similar My Documents folder appears to be common.
