QFG4 Floppy 1.1a + note patch (English)

When your sleep at the inn and wake to find a note, the EYE message says it was left on the chest.

"Someone has left a note for you on the chest. You have no idea how they could have put it there without awakening you."

The CD edition under ScummVM, as expected, places the note sprite on top of the chest. Clicking HAND on the chest reads the note.

The floppy edition places the note sprite on the floor. Clicking HAND on the chest opens the chest.

The original interpreter also does this.

I can add some information to this one. There is a patched script that was distributed to fix the note missing, which was a game-breaking bug in the original floppy release. The patched files are #330. The way the patch was written, this file makes the note appear on the floor.
