MAC OS X Technical Question: Saved Games

How do I import the save games from Priv 1.0 to Priv 1.2?
I have tried running the downloadable patch in terminal, but am probably not doing it right. There are no clear instructions how to do it...Where do the apps need to be?

I'm on G4 Powerbook, loadsa RAM, OS 10.4.

Anyone who can walk through this step by step, just so I don't have to do it all again! I love my Centurion you see..

Thanks

open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

cp -r ~/.privateer100/s* ~/.privateer120/

cp -r ~/.privateer100/s* ~/.privateer110/
should work ok

Is that assuming that both versions are in the Apps folder?

No success, and this is what it said:

Arrgghh!!!

It should have worked.

Due to an oversight, priv 1.2 seems to use the 1.1 dir to save stuff in....

So the second command you ran (which didn't have an error) would have done it.

Try privateer and see

It should all be dandy

Well it ain't dandy and I've stopped playing....I keep the games in their disk images NOT the apps folder, has that something to do with it?

Anybody else had this problem?
Anybody successfully imported their save games from 1.0 to 1.2 in OS X (10.4)? How did you do it? Where were the games on your hard drive?

Thanks
