Hi - Hopefuly ill have some time to look I was just going to say before the MAP data there 2 figures that change the dimensions of the level - length,height.
Im using Disk.1 as a ADF now - zeroed all data that isnt Level 1_1 -Map tiles etc witch has clearded a lot of data, If you were makeing a game wouldnt you place enemies @ X,Y? but I guess thats not the point just have to keep looking

if you change the width/height the exit/start points move, so clearly they are placed as 'offsets' from some point rather than fixed X/Y values based on the maximum level-size, i suspect the same will be true of the enemies
