Ultima 1 Spelling Fix

A small patch that corrects misspellings of “Britain” and “Gweno” in the MS-DOS version of Ultima 1.
Zhelkas1 noticed a few spelling errors in the MS-DOS version of Ultima 1, most notably “Britain” being misspelled as “Britian”, and “Gweno” as “Gwino”. By making use of a hex editor to poke around some of the game’s EXE files, Zhelkas1 was able to correct these, with one notable limitation:
I used a hex editor to make these fixes. It seems I am allowed to change existing strings but not add new ones, or the game won’t load properly. Therefore I can change the name to “Gweno” but not “Gwenno”.
To install the patch, make backups of MONDAIN.EXE, OUT.EXE, and SPACE.EXE, and then copy the files in the download above into the game’s installation folder.
