SAVING AND RESTORING
==================== 
Since omega's dungeons are quite large, all dungeon levels are saved in
compressed form; besides that, the current dungeon and the city level will
be stored in the save file. When a dungeon level is entered, the level 
is restored from disk if it is available; otherwise, whether the level 
has never been explored before or the level file has been deleted, it
will be (re)generated. To explain this, you might simply consider that
the "actual" level is far larger than is apparent, and you are just
traversing a different part of it if you lose your map of the level...

If you know the spell of Return, (learnable at the Explorers' Club) 
you will be able to warp to your deepest excursion in the dungeon
without having to retraverse the other levels in between. Some other
shortcuts exist for "warping" from one locale or level to another.

To at least simulate the continuity of character in the game, saved
files will be deleted on restoration. Of course, you *can* copy them,
with your level files, if you want to cheat. Note, however, that level
files cannot be re-used with a different save-file when you next play
the game.
