... aah ... i know what you mean ... i have checked this 'spelling errors' - i have this too in this version (the 372 detected as 331 by scummvm)
so it confirms that this must be a correct 372 version

Is it by chance a fan translated version, as in many of your other reports?

If I understand the Sky engine correctly, it determines the game version by looking at the sky.dnr file, known as the "dinner table". The first four bytes are the number of entries in the file, and the rest is the entries themselves. Each entry is 8 bytes.
0.0331 (and 0.0348) has 1445 entries, so that sky.dnr is 4 + 8 * 1445 = 11564 bytes. 0.0372 has 5097 entries, so that sky.dnr is 4 + 8 * 5097 = 40780 bytes.
Is the sky.dnr for your 0.0372 11564 bytes?

Can you provide filesizes and md5 sums of your datafiles? Maybe you simply mixed up a few of the datafiles? Or maybe they're simply corrupted. I suppose 12 year old floppy disks may give a couple a read errors :)

You've simply got a copy of broken datafiles. .0372 would be a CD version with speech, but as your SKY.DSK is ~8MB instead of ~80MB, it must come from some kind of floppy version and doesn't belong to the pack you get that RST file from. Also, the DSK file size doesn't match any of the versions we are aware of. The size of your .DNR file matches .0331 or .0348, but the md5sum is incorrect for both of them, so it's most probably corrupted.
If I was you, I'd just delete that copy and forget all about it. :)
closed.

Out of curiosity, how can you tell it's 0.0372? If I force ScummVM to mis-identify my 0.0372 as 0.0331, I get lots of spelling errors (e.g. "croabar" instead of "crowbar") in the subtitles because they encode the text slightly differently.
And, since 0.0331 is apparently one of the floppy versions, I don't get any voice-overs.
