If you really want to support something like this, (and I'd argue that it isn't worth it) here are a couple of ideas: Save in a known place in the user's home directory and set read permission. Of course, to load a level, you need to know what user made it. Somehow pass the data to a small program that has the appropriate privileges that does nothing but move the data into place. w> The second game, hack (part of bsd-games), creates 'bones' files w> when a character dies.

Ugh; it is really not possible to determine the name of the bones file early in the process? Is there some reason it can't just be some random string? - J<
