Way back when, I figured out how to pbem by generating a small battle and "sending" the turns to myself. Then it was a small step to a real pbem battle.
Thanks for the reply I have two game going now,
the one that starts the game (after both agree to settings)
will Buy and then save in the SPWAWv7/eMail dir the files are
the same as the save game slot.
EXPL:
save game slot 10
the files you need to zip are:
email10.dat
email10.cmt
email10.aux
email10.rec
I'm sure all this and more are in the manual but thats a start point. also the settings (prefs) will reset for each game
