I can't open the MINI.dat in CSBuild. I've tried several versions of the savegame from Atari/Amiga, and CSBuild cannot open them.
I get a sequence of popup windows about too many levels, trying big/little endian, damaged format and eventually an "unexpected file format".
I've tried CSBuild345 and CSBuild410, both have this issue.
I was fairly certain I'd opened MINI.DAT in CSBuild in the past. Is it no longer possible? Was it never possible and I'm mis-remembering?
If it's not possible, are there any other tools that will open MINI.DAT?
How to open MINI.dat in CSBuild??

Re: How to open MINI.dat in CSBuild??
I found Christophe's save game extraction tool, which allowed me to extract the dungeon from the mini.dat:

I could then load this dungeon into CSBuild successfully.
