Thanx. It has a password, but the author didn't leave any notes telling us
who he is. I found an address garbled in the datadef file and shot a msg
off to it. I hope its the right one or I'm going to have to start from
scratch. Ugh!

OK, I've never seen the Fairy Meat files, so I'm going to assume the
existing charcters don't have an armour stat and the new ones do so
you want to add it... If that's not the case, please be more
specific
To add a new stat to the files, you need to edit the definition file
(datadef.fm - assuming the file extension is fm). First off, you
need to turn it into a text file and to do that you need to use
abundef. The doco for it is near the end of the ConstKit.rtf file.
If the author has locked the definition file (which is fairly
standard practice), you will not be able to "undef" the definition
file which means you're stuck unless you can track down the original
author and get either the original text version of the definition
file or the password to unlock the file you currently have.
Once you have the def file in text format, just open it up in
notepad, find the existing stat definitions, copy one of the lines,
check the doco mentioned above for the meaning of all of the fields -
change the ones you need to change and then use abdef to recreate
the datadef file.
Cheers,
Russell.

If you start up AB and load the Fairy Meat files, then go to
Help->About Loaded Files, you should see the complete Author
Information (well, as much as there is about an author anyway
Good Luck,
Russell.
