I had the same problem with a game I was working on, but it worked when I resaved the WORDS.TOK in the Windows port of the Linux AGI Studio, and later I found out that it worked with nailheads AGI Studio too. I believed it had something to do with my Swedish version of Windows 98, since everyone else was using the English one, and the Swedes I spoke with (the guys working on Lawman for hire)had the same problem.
