[gme-users] .xme attribute generation

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi,

I'm still not clear on this. I can't dump xme unless I
load the mga file first, and if the version changes, I
can't do that. I guess it's a question of which format
(mga or xme) is likely to be more volatile. Or am I
missing something?

Jeff
