Sorry if I didn't really explain properly, but I was meaning to write my
own interpretter, or a compiler that converts the script into pcode tokens,
so i can get help when writing the script without the other person(s)
having to worry about fuzzy code.

I looked at flex as well as yacc, but in the end I gave up as it really
doesn't suit my needs. The biggest problem with making adventure games is
the need for completely new code between games, unless you restrict
yourself with something like SCI.
