I've been working on documenting the SCUMM data file format, based on stuff 
from ScummVM and the SCUMM Revisited site. (Basically, as I've been adding 
things to Skim I've been documenting them.)

A very early snapshot is available at:

http://www.plover.net/~hjalfi/scumm/

(or .../scumm/scumm.html, .../scumm/scumm.pdf, .../scumm/scumm.dvi if you 
want it in one big file or a printable version.)

Currently it's extremely incomplete and a most of the sections are just 
placeholders. I have done CHARs, SCRP instruction encoding in both V5 and V6 
versions, and detailed information on selected opcodes. Currently I'm 
concentrating on V5 and above given that the V4 format is so different and 
everything prior to V4 is gibberish (to me).

Is this at all useful to anyone?

If anyone has any information or, joy of joys, text they want to contribute, 
please let me know. (Ludvig, did you write any of this down while you were 
doing ScummVM?)

Let me know what you think.
