I was reading some SCI script files this weekend, when I noticed that the SCI resource reader (latest download from their website) is only capable of reading SCI0/SCI1 games with 'split' resource files, i.e. RESOURCE.### numbered 001 through 010 or whatever. Some more recent Sierra games have a single file called RESOURCE.000; is the format of this file known and legible? Does anyone have a tool for it please?

Unless I'm pretty much mistaken, you're talking about later games, with mouse interface and better graphics, right? You can decode it with SCI Studio VGA, which is still in the making.

Well, yes, but in particular the later later games.
KQV has mouse interface and VGA graphics, and about a dozen resource files, which I can read.
KQVI has mouse interface and VGA graphics, and one friggin' huge resource file, which I can not read. I was wondering if anything can read the latter.

Yes, and you should be able to read it when SCI Studio VGA is released. You should try the SCI boards for anything relating to SCI:
