Below is the link to upload of exe and source code of a short program fixing problem of Apple - Macintosh save files.
Mac_fix_for_windows
Mac computers save the file that has mac-style file path. This causes that a windows player in multiplayer game after the mac player can play a turn, but cannot save the new file.
The fix works by changing the file path in the mac save that windows player receives.
How to use it:
1) A player with a windows machine should place the executable (file: Smacx_de_mac.exe) in the same folder where the mac save is placed.
2) Drag and drop the mac save to the exe file. You do not have to click the exe.
3) The corrected save file will be saved with name addition: .unmaced.sav
4) You can play the new save file on windows and generate save file for a new player after you.
----------
The code has been originally written by Kody in 2006. The smac addition is just added, so now exe works for both smax and smac, it should be automatically detected if the file is smac or smax.
