This file contains texts used in screen messages and messages sent to players from the Host. The file is required by THost 3.22.012 and later. The current version contains 990 records but not all of them are actually used. Probably the file size will change in the future.

+100 990 RECORDs of 6 bytes each, describe the strings. This field is
                indexed from 1 onwards:
                 +0     DWORD   location of string in file, as usual "+1"
                 +4     WORD    Length of string
+6000 n BYTEs   the strings (raw data, no space padding here). The
                strings are not encrypted.

Tim Wisseman supplies a program with source code to create/modify this file (PCKLANG1.BAS). The strings may contain carriage returns. Some use 0Dh 0Ah as line feed character (screen messages), others use a single 0Dh (subspace messages).
