* Dump/Restore blocks sets to/from the external file.
Remember, that level path depends not only links, but it depends on the scripts thats have been specified in the link parameters (or even in the level parameters). Some scripts terminates level, and another scripts directs to the another area unlike has been specified in 'target area' field in the link editor.
It is recommended to backup your ROM before your start to edit the game and before any new stage of your hack.
