After some further studying of FotAQ it seems like quite a lot is hard
coded in the executable. Of course, I don't know what level of scripting
to expect but that's my impression anyway.

Is all adventure game reverse enegineering as tedious as Gregory
Montoir's rewriting work? 

<plug type=shameless>

The reverse engineers on this list may be interested in Desquirr
(http://desquirr.sourceforge.net) that should make work like Gregory
Montoir's rewrite easier. I think it needs some updating soon though,
for example it doesn't handle __fastcall or similar properly, and that
is used in FotAQ. 

</plug>

Anyway, http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/ is probably also useful but I
am currently unable to do a checkout of it from CVS.
