To keep your pilots alive forever make a copy of the ROSTER.FIL file before going on a dangerous mission. If you get killed you can copy the file back and your pilot is resurrected as though he had never flown the fatal mission.
For example to copy the file type change to the Gunship directory and type:
COPY ROSTER.FIL BACKUP.XXX
To resurrect a pilot change to the Gunship directory and then type:
COPY BACKUP.XXX ROSTER.FIL
Make sure you copy the ROSTER.FIL file every time you
successfully complete a mission.
