After some hacking, I found the solution to the "missing english.smp"-problem in discworld (for those of us having downloaded the full talkie-version from underdogs/hotu):
When you run the unpack.bat-script, the error message is hidden from you. The problem is simple really: decode.exe can't be run under dosbox. It has to be run under a win32-environment. That's why some people have this problem, but for others it works splendid. So, just run the unpack.bat from an ordinary windows-installation, and you'll be fine.
The hotu-version also seems to be a patched version, and some of the bugs from previous versions has been removed (for instance the program changing catalogs after saving).
