Short answer (while waiting for the long one): I've created a table (8
entries) like
this: (Pascal code)

 enemyTable : ARRAY[0..7] OF RECORD
                               type : Byte;  { 1=blob, 2=hedghog, 3=bat,
4=green man }
                               dir  : Byte;  { 0=right, 1=left }
                               x    : Word;
                               y    : Byte;
                               fall : Byte;
                               spec : Byte;
                             END;

When finding an enemy while scrolling, the enemy is inserted in the
table above,
and each frame the table is scanned and the enemies get updated.


Btw, I forgot one file in the ZIP package which is necessary when
creating levels -
BIN285S.EXE  It converts a bin file into a plain 85S file, a handy tool
which can
be used by other applications as well. You'll find it at
