OK, so I fell victim to the map graphics bug on the The Second Sky hold, and haven't been able to repair my save. It's totally broken, alas.

So, basically, I want to be able to wipe out my progress on it, without losing the rest of my 10+-year-old player file. This seems to be an issue, as it's the primary hold in the current executable, and thus I can't delete the hold to wipe my progress, as other holds allow.

I thought maybe, as I haven't played any TSS-era user holds, I could easily import my current player file back to GatEB, re-export, and import back into TSS... But that wasn't allowed by GatEB. So at the moment, I don't have any way of easily clearing my Restore data so that I can make sure I don't inadvertently pull myself back into the broken save at some point.

Basically... I'd like a way to clear a hold's save data (just the progress, not the demos), probably with a double 'Are you sure?' 'Are you really, REALLY sure?' prompt to prevent accidental clears.

As I said in that thread... I should be able to fix your save. Just upload it somewhere and PM me the URL, and I'll have a look.

Nah, that's OK. I'm using the TSS demo to wipe it. I don't mind replaying the hold, anyways. But it'd be nice not to have to jump through this many hoops to fix one hold.

EDIT: Not that the TSS Demo wiped it, either. Eesh. But in any case, I'm less concerned about repairing the save and more just wanting to wipe out the TSS (but nothing else) from it.

I don't think it will be implemented - this seems to be the only case ever when someone needed to delete a hold's progress.
