Summary: problems with the interpreter

I've been having a problem running the advsys program on an MS-DOS
machine.  When loading the sample adventure "osample.dat" (which has
been compiled by the compiler), the interpreter bombs with a "bad data
file" error message.  After a bit of tracing, I found that this was
because of an incorrect length of the resident data in the data file.
After compiling the program on a 4.2bsd machine, the thing worked
fine, and in fact produced an "osample.dat" file of exactly the same
size as the file produced under MS-DOS.  Therefore, the problem is
probably with the interpreter reading the file rather than the
compiler writing it.  Has anybody else experienced any problems
running the thing under MS-DOS?
