This information is for the PC 3-1/2 inch boot disk version of Wizardry 5.

I was able to figure this out with the help of "Taking the Wiz out of ...
Wizardry", by Rob Hall, from Computist, issue No. 40 February 1987,
pp. 23 - 25, which migrated to ftp.apple.asimov.net and thence to
http://www.lava.net/~jh/wizardry/ and I can't remember where I found it.
