2. All new files should have the file extension of '.v3scen' , although Macintosh OS doesn't use file extension (knows what kind of file and related application without being told), Windows OS is helpless without extension. .scen distinguishes from game same files .sav.

9. File Naming Convention: MMM-SSS-###.scen where MMM is the module (SQL, COI); SSS is the Source (TAHGC, OAF, TTS, SQLA) and ### is the scenario number with '-' replacing decimals; finally a .scen file extension.
