I can see several uses for the decryption code.

First, it would let me, as a general host, be able to readily generate a game history I could publish by being able to go back through the turn files and code-wise extract and generate videos of the game history based on the game data.

Second, it would solve the problem of someone dropping from a game without revealing their password, so I could (in theory) be able to turn that player position over to another player.

You could also decode and validate turn files against the serial # to make sure the turn wouldn't violate copy protection.

I'm working on some hosting tools (the reason I rewrote the starstat app in perl) but I'm really limited by the amount of information I can find about the file structure.

If someone has the decryption code, I'd really appreciate it.
