Ultima 9 text.dat file format ============================= Revision 1.00 7th Jan 2002 The purpose of text.dat is unknown - but it seems to be a lookup table for text entries in text.flx.

Composed of three DWORD's : 1st : Entry Number 2nd : ?? 3rd : Index of a "line" in text.flx (every line from text.flx [ie from 0 to 7655] is reference ONCE in the whole file) Written by John Larcombe aka TumbleWeed Dragon tumble_weed@hotmail.com http://www.iinet.net.au/~larcombe
