Wizardry uses different encoding based on the system you use (or so 
Im told) AND on the game itself.  On the Apple, Wiz I & II used one 
scheme but Wiz III used a totally offbeat scheme that would cause any 
character editors to mess up.  There are a lot of details that need 
to be discussed if you want to find out how the text/data is 
encoded.  The text is actually not encoded but all the data is.  Ill 
type up a file on it and get it out later this week (hopefully).
