I thought you'd have it done by now!

I don't think I'll be doing my part in Python, but that doesn't mean others
can't do their modules that way.

I've made available my initial efforts at a .oex file disassembler; it's
still fairly rough, but hopefully it will inspire y'all.  It's at:

<http://home.ica.net/~phoenix/wap/OOPic/OEX-VIEW.ZIP>

The .c file is the original OOPic source code and the .txt file is the
disassembler output of the .oex file.  The .xlat file has to be built by
the human in charge...  I'd be interested in knowing how the disassembler
handles your own .oex files.
