Notes for Version 1:

-The General Store does not contain the three crates.  Instead, it has
a security alarm that can be bypassed by searching the counter, finding the
paper bag and then placing the butter and packet inside the bag.  Any other
container (fur sack, bag, briefcase) will work as well.

-There is no Fublio Bank in version 1.

-There is no Boutique in version 1.  The wigro prayer can be obtained
from the painting in Frobar's bedroom with the command "Touch painting".

There are many other minor changes but those are the three major changes
in version 2 from version 1.
