1. 	FILE BACKUP

Backing up files simply means keeping copies of files outside of the program which uses them and, preferably outside of 
your computer on floppy disks or cd's.

A smart computer user keeps backups of all the files that don't come with the program! 

2.	HOW TO BACK UP A PLAYSCENE FILE

Scenes that you make are found in C:\Program Files\PF.Magic\Resource\Area. These and any scenes you 
download from a web site should be kept safe by storing copies outside of the Petz program until the final conversion is done. 
After you make a final conversion and it is working properly, make sure to save it to a floppy disk or cd so that you will 
always have it if something goes wrong with the file, the program, or your computer!

3.	HOW TO CONVERT A FILE

Open the Play Scene Converter.exe file. This is found in C:\Play Scene Converter 2 folder. 
Select the type of conversion you require. Then select your Play Scene. 
Only 1 Play Scene can be converted at a time. 
Click the Convert button. The progress of conversion is shown in the bar. 
The number of sounds converted is shown upon completion.

4.	I'VE CONVERTED THE FILE BUT THERE ARE NO SOUNDS

Possible causes:

a. There may be no sounds included with the original Play Scene.

b. "Convert if sounds do not work" box not checked. Make sure this box is ticked.
If the Play Scene is edited after conversion, using the Playscene Editor, it must be run
through the converter again, making sure the 'Convert if sounds do not work' is checked.

c. The sounds did not need converting they were heard on the original file. Replace the converted
file with the saved copy of the original.

5.	I'VE CONVERTED THE FILE BUT IT WON'T SHOW UP

Possible causes:

a. The "Correct if play scene is not listed in Custom Scenes" box was not checked when you ran the conversion program. 
Make sure this boxis ticked.

b. The Play Scene did not need converting. Run it through the converter again, making
sure the 'Correct if play scene is not listed in Custom Scenes'box is ticked, to restore it.

c. If the Play Scene still doesn't show up send a copy of it, and one that DOES work
