The version of Ultima II currently on Asimov - I mean the old version, not the re-release that has the blue border around the map view - has a bug that prevents the player from ever increasing the "strength" attribute again, once the character creation process is finished. To allow in-game raising of strength, use the supplied fixed version of the "Program Disk". The other two disk images are included for completeness' sake only and are identical to the version already on Asimov. The fix removes a thinko in the code, so it is conceivable that at least some of the original Sierra Online-issued disks exhibit the same problem. If you don't want to download the whole thing, change the following bytes: Track $6, Sector $F, Bytes $4F and $5A - both have to be changed from $15 to $14. Have fun!
