Thanks for the heads-up (and apologizes for the late answer) !

This is due to an incorrect computation of the screen index in
DINK.DAT.  Opening and saving the file in a map packer such as
WinDinkedit should fix the file size.

AFAICS this is already fixed in the in-progress 109.0 version.

Cheers!
