The parser in the PAWN is one of the best I have seen. I also really liked
the pawns ability to look at MAny many many objects. I hope that when CD
games come out, advanced parsers will be on their list of projects. You
could develope entire intricately detailed worlds on a cd. 

And the reason I defend Sierra is because I have had so much fun playing
their games. Space Quest III was great! I loved the humor! I believe 
they did a very good job on it. The only other game of theirs I have played
to resolution is LSL. Both were enjoyable, but I liked Space Quest III
the most. I have not seen many of the Kings Quest series and Police
Quest.
