I never did find the "dapper" value - it may be located, like many of the
hidden stats in the section after the visible stats. Once I thought I found
it, but it just turned out to be body temperature (it moved with the clothing
you wore...). There are a few variables that move in mysterious ways that I am
not able to account for.

If we find the dapper stat, we can also determine the dapper value of various
pieces of clothing - the floppy leather hat, for example. Finally, a criteria
for the Clothes Horse!

There are one of two possibilites I see for the dapper stat:

It is, like the "Current" stat the sum of a number of other values.
It is, like the stat modifiers, affected by a sub-routine that, if
interrupted, may or may not act on it again.

If it is the first case, then we will not be able to modify this stat, only
observe it, as it will self-update from time to time. If it is the second
case, then perhaps Noblemen will stop telling me to take a bath!!

Is there any place in the dungeon that we can observe the dapper value in
action? The Clothes Horse only looks for the value of the highest piece of
clothing you are wearing, I do not think it looks for your over-all dapper
value.

Have you also managed to find the "dapper" stat Dan Pinal mentioned?
The one which goes up and down depending on what apparel you wear?

Also, I checked the first City disk image and saw the code fragment you
mentioned, but there is much more than what you pasted... I don't know
if we have anyone who knows assembly or reverse engineering here, I
mean, this might just be a checksum, crack or something unrelevant but:

While looking, I also managed to find symbols of a sword, shield,
armor, timepiece, gold, scroll and spells... so it may be evidence that
The City was going to use icons and stuff in it's menus. It's trivial,
but still. :)
