AdventureWriter IBM-PC database decompiler

I took a look at the Locus Anatis Atari Quill/Adventure Writer: File Format document, and it motivated me to make an AdventureWriter IBM-PC (MS-DOS) database decompiler:

Decompilation is done from the game .exe file. I don't know if it compiles under Windows, but I should be able to try it out in the next few days.

Ooh. That could be cool as there are quite a few PC exclusive AdventureWriter (aka Quill) games that I wouldn't mind having a nose at. Including some, like Olsen's, that might be interesting to port to DAAD, given the differences with the existing 8-bit Quilled versions.

Great to see the gaps filled in our decompilers for the GIlsoft systems. Now if only someone would make me a decompiler for CP/M (Amstrad) PAWed games.

I have added a binary for MS-DOS (DosBox) until I can provide a Windows binary.

It appears that the three games by John R. Olsen from the IFDB archive are not in the CASA database (I was able to decompile them without any problems).

They are all in there as individual entries, but were only tagged in other forms, such as the TACL (Amiga) versions. (Probably because it may not have been clear which system was used to make the DOS editions)

I've now added Quill tags to the ones in the Nightmares from the Crypt collection.

Version 1.0 is out. I added the Windows binary. It is now possible to use the -i option to display words in reverse video enclosed in square brackets:
