Hi,

I believe I already posted this yesterday, but it might have been stripped out
due to too many posts to other hosts. Apologies if you get this twice!

                              FreeSCI VM Extension

                                 <final draft>

                Sean Terrell, Xiaojun Chen, Christoph Reichenbach


Abstract: FreeSCI is a graphical adventure game interpreter based on the Sierra
On-Line Script Interpreter released in the late 1980s.  This document details
the design and implementation of an extension to the virtual machine heap which
allows FreeSCI to support a larger address space and, in consequence, bigger
adventure games.

  The paper discusses design and implementation issues regarding 'glutton'
(the FreeSCI 0.6 development branch), provides some insight into its
structure, gives a performance evaluation and discusses future work.
  It's going to be submitted as the final project paper in a course on
Advanced Operating Systems RSN; any feedback or comments would be greatly
appreciated!

The final draft is available on-line at

        http://www.teksolv.de/~jameson/fsci-final.ps

This paper will be made available from the FreeSCI documentation page.
