Thanks to BTAxis for clearing that issue. I don't see how a function in the single player mode of an open source game could be abused, anyway.

The 'retry' feature is much nicer anyway, if you have to leave then hibernate. On the Amiga I used to run it from a Ram Drive and save it like that, it should be possible to do that today but dont ask me how, I have trouble finding my way around vista's control panel on my lappy.  Lord knows how big a savefile would be for a big map but if you really want the feature I'd suggest you read up on RAM dumping, which is how emulators save their state. I suppose you could run it in a virtual machine or on a JIT emulator and it would be possible.
