So far after examining a bit of the code for sci companion and views / pics, I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by the difference in how it handles the code for this. Not only is the code a little over my head and will need some studying, but it doesnt seem to be broken down into a familiar structure I am used to seeing in both fotoscihop, sci32, or scummvm. For example a view file is generally structured as a view header, loop headers, cell headers, then a sequenced offset of image data / scan lines / links. Im not following exactly how it is structured in sci companion yet. Maybe I am not seeing it in context yet.
