absolutely.  i kind of figured the engine was called scumm since "scumm
programmers" were listed as part of the credits.  i'm about to go to
work until 10 :(  but yeah, either tonight or tomorrow morning.  that
would be *great* if the lucasarts games could be interpreted from a
game script instead of emulating the entire program itself.

thanks for mentioning this!   (it also will go into the lg-howto!)
