Description

In SCI01 when heap space started running out in (Quest for Glory 2) changes were made to both the script library and the interpreter to split scripts into two parts when loaded: A dynamic part, which resides in the heap as before, and a static part, which is stored externally to conserve heap space to compensate. By SCI1.1 the script resources were made into two separate resources.
