Well, there was talking of disabling it on the list to get rid of the
"file is newer" warnings.  It doesn't bother me either way.

Oh, okay.  I must have missed that part. O_o;;

Attached is a new version of the shell script (now fixbundle.sh).  As
for a real app, it'd be a lot more work to carry out the same
functionality of the script, but I don't mind writing it if needed. 
(Though my time's short right now, so it may take me a few days to mail
it in.)  Try this script tho.  It does what you want, I think.

Two more notes:
- exunicode doesn't work right -- the characters from the .dat file
fonts aren't displayed correctly.  If I run it from inside a bundle, it
gives me the expected error message, but then crashes.
- exscn3d doesn't allow full screen 640x480 at 16bpp... Weird.  8bpp is
fine.
