STARTPOS.ESF analysis and modificationsHere is my work about startpos.esf from ETW thread. I've posted only the links to be reached easily. There are deferences since NTW startpos is a little different but generally you can figure out what you have to do. For example a common issue is that infos for entries the lay in x line maybe in NTW is in x+1 or x+2 line since there are new lines added. All the modifications I've tried so far seem to work fine. If you find a serious deference or a problem please report it here.
