File format notes
Much of the file formats used in Chill Manor were also used in I.M. Meen, except separated into folders. Within the RES folder some LAB files do not appear to be actual data containers, these are: RESCH, RESCH1, RESCH2, RESGR, RESPZ. As of yet these serve no known purpose. The GAME_SCR.PCX containing the game palette is present within RESINT.
The other new format is present in the HISTORY folder under EGA, which are raw uncompressed EGA graphic files, possibly used in an effort to diminish space usage.
STARTPOS is now known as LEVEL and features a 4th coordinate value.
