APE Decompiler
Version: 1.0
Date:    9th July 2004
Author:  Richard Tew

This is a decompiler for the compiled APE scripts that come with the game Anachronox.

  Usage: python file.ape

    Attempts to decompile the specified file.

  Usage: python --all

    Requires two sub-directories in the current directory.
    "ape"  - Contains the compiled ape files from Anachronox.
    "apes" - Empty directory for decompile files to be written to.


Extras:

  test.txt

    Sample ape source file.  The initial idea was to write code for new aspects
    which I discover as I decompiled more and more.  But I gave up along the
    way.

  ape.syn
  
    TextPad editor syntax highlighting definition file.


There is an existing decompiler written in Java by Species8372.

Initially I used his decompiler but I was finding that the scripts decompiled and
changed by myself with it were not working as the original compiled version did
after having been recompiled.  Fixing species8372's was beyond me as I did not
have any understanding of the compiled file format so it seemed easier to write
my own in order to get that understanding.
