DRAGONFLIGHT Bugfix for French version (18.10.2004)

What is this bugfix for?
This bugfix corrects an error in PEGANA, where ELKAMUR doesn't answer when he is showed some items.
The bug only exists in the french version!
This bugfix will be included in Dragonflight V1.2 for Steem.

How to install the bugfix?
copy the file 'TOWN00TLK' to directory 'E:\fra_data'

What is the technical reason of the bug?
The bug is not located in the game itself but was an error in a conversion tool. This tool converted the plain textfile
with the town logic to a binary structure. The special characters of the french version had character codes greater than
128 which leads to negative values when used as bytes.
The negative numbers in the text themself were also no problem but at Elkamur there was the only text where a line ended with
such a special character. At this line the tool stopped converting more text for Elkamur and continued with the next character.
So most of Elkamurs text was missing...

I'm very sorry about this bug which is a original bug from the French version from 1990!
Nevertheless, enjoy playing DRAGONFLIGHT!
