Since sound has been discussed recently, and since the old KQ4 came up, I thought I'd reiterate a point about old sound resources. Early SCI0 games have a different sound resource header than later ones. Games with the 0.000.2xx line of interpreters are affected. As far as I know, all games from 0.000.3xx onward use the new format, although at least one (Leisure Suit Larry 2 0.000.343) excludes patch files. (Thanks to Omer for discovering this.) Cheers, Ravi.
