Hi All,

Just a short note to advise that ScummVM 0.8.2 has been released and 
is available for OS/2 from http://www.scummvm.org

Feedback about the OS/2 build can be sent to me at paul at smedley dot 
info.

Note that some sourceforge mirrors may not yet have the OS/2 binary 
available, it is definitely available from the 'Switch' and 'Heanet'
mirrors.

 >From the website:
Feb. 8th, 2006: ScummVM 0.8.2 "Broken Broken Sword 2" released

Due to a bug discovered in 0.8.1, which rendered Broken Sword 2 
unplayable, we're forced to release ScummVM 0.8.2 "Broken Broken Sword 
2". Also, we used this opportunity to fix the WinCE builds, as well as 
the MacOS X bundle.

As usual, you can get builds for all supported platforms on our 
downloads page at http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical 
point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data 
files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the 
executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on 
systems for which they were never designed!

ScummVM lets you run these adventures: Adventure Soft's Simon the 
Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and 
Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the 
Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM 
(Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. SCUMM is used for 
many games, including Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max 
and more. Compatibility with supported games is continually improving, 
so check back often.

Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, 
Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, 
PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more...
