This suddenly reminded me.. I coded (some time ago) a program that can
view Wing Commander II sprites. The program is a really quick and dirty
hack, but if someone would like to have the sources (gee, I don't even
remember whether they were Turbo Pascal or Turbo C.. Turbo Pascal I think,
using a Mode-X graphics library) I could send them or make them available
somewhere.. The EXE is not much use as it has a fixed directory path where
the WING2/GAMEDAT/*.* files have to be, etc. Talk about quick & dirty...

I don't know about the ethical status of my program, but certainly you would
not use it to anything unethical, like copying sprites to your own games,
now would you?

It might also be nice if someone would compile it to a polished program,
I myself have not the time nor the interest to do that.

What I would like to see is a program that could do the same thing to all
the Wing Commander II speech files (well, not to display them, but to play
them out).
