(Gosh, is this really the first message of 2002?)

Many moons ago I announced that I was working on a SCUMM 
compilation/decompilation toolkit. Well, here's the first version of it, 
called Skim:

http://www.cowlark.com/cgi-bin/getpage.cgi?/Unix

Skim is written in pure Java and should run on anything, although I wrote it 
on Linux. It can be run with a Java interpreter or compiled with the gcj Java 
compiler and turned into genuine executables.

The current functionality is pretty limited, but what you get at the moment 
is a set of command-line tools to let you browse SCUMM files, convert SCUMM 
files in SLOB linkable object files, disassemble certain resource types 
inside SLOB files (currently only CharSets), and a few other things. Most of 
the framework is in place, it's currently just a matter of adding support for 
lots of different resource types.

Also included is the first extremely basic version of the SCUMM 
documentation. Basically, every time I work something out so that Skim can 
understand it, I document it. At the moment it's just a text file but I hope 
to turn it into a proper DocBook file at some stage.

Don't expect anything polished, but what's here may be of interest. Please 
send me feedback.
