Hello, Thomas. I'm translating Maniac Mansion and your software would be very helpful (I have problems with some character sets). I would be very greateful if you could send me a Windows binary. My e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you very much. _______________________________________________ ScummC-general mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/scummc-general
