[Announce] Decompilers for Z-Machine, Glulx, TADS2/3, Hugo
Ben Rudiak-Gould
decompiler called Mrifk, TADS 2 and TADS 3 decompilers called Scads 2
and Scads 3, and a (barely functional) Hugo decompiler called Victor.
You can download them here:

I've been working sporadically on these things for months, and I don't
think they're ever going to be done, so rather than wait until they're
perfect, I decided to clean them up and ship them as-is. I'll upload
them to the IF archive shortly.
They're written in Haskell, but I've provided Win32 and Linux binaries
which don't require special runtime support.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Hi,
Tried the Scads 2 decompiler on a random TADS 2 game. It works well
enough for me, since I do have knowledge of TADS 2. Thanks for
creating the program -- I've been looking for one before just to see
how some of the more difficult games work.

Very nice.

I have to confess that I've never heard of Haskell.

Looking great! I grabbed the source (to study) and the Linux binary (to use)
and threw it at a copy of Starcross, a game I've been deconstructing for a
long time. I've taken your symbol table and just about doubled it.
I especially like being able to declare data types to help reform figure out
the sense of things. Specifically, I added ":action" to the declaration of
"Verb" and lots of things snapped into focus.
Please keep up the effort... I'd love to see support for the "table" datatype.
