Summary0003880: DATA folder used by installer / icon but not specified in slave header
Description
Same problem as XJ220

http://mantis.whdload.de/view.php?id=3831


The installed for the game includes a folder for extraction of files to the 'data' folder.... however, the slave header itself does not include this, and have a value of 0 for the slv_CurrentDir pointer.

This should be updated for a pointer to the slv_CurrentDir to go to string containing 'data' to resolve this.

This affects programs which read the slave header in order to determine the location of the data for the game, meaning a manual setting of the data= location is required.
Steps To ReproduceView Source code:

slv_name dc.b "North & South",0
slv_copy dc.b "1989 Infogrames",0
slv_info dc.b "adapted by Wepl, CFou! & Mr.Larmer",10,10
            dc.b "Version "
            DECL_VERSION
        dc.b 0
slv_CurrentDir:
    dc.b 0
