OpenScreamer 0.1.1

Fixes for the French version, and a new disk image format.

What's new

• French throughout. The interface (menus, settings, help, the opening notice) is now in French when the text is. The original's own English words are translated too: Yes / No, Push Space Key, the abilities screen's labels, Equipped, HIT, the demo's introduction.
• Accents in the game's text. The game's 8 × 8 font has no accented letters, so OpenScreamer now makes them from the font's own letters. The French text has its accents back (é, è, à, ç...).
• Anex86 .fdi disk images can be imported, as well as .fdd, .hdm, .d88 and zips of them.

Fixes

• The keyboard hint on the registration screen showed \x02 instead of its arrow, in every language.
• Spaces were too narrow in the PC-98 interface font.

You still need your own disk image of the PC-9801 version of THE SCREAMER: OpenScreamer contains nothing from the original game. If you already imported it with 0.1.0, there's nothing to do: your saves and settings carry over. To get the new French text, unzip the new translations next to the program (on macOS, in the data folder), replacing the old ones.

The Linux and macOS builds still haven't been tried on a real machine; reports are welcome. macOS: the app isn't signed by Apple, so the first time, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
