There are Java solutions available for reading SCF data, but I'm
unsure of whether they handle ABI files. They're also (currently)
considerably slower.
Fortunately, the sequal to ted is available; trev. It handles ABI, ALF
(but not the new compressed version), and both version 2 and
(compressed) version 3 SCF files. Note that ted didn't handle newer
SCF files. The interface is also greatly improved, and it now also
runs under Windows 95 and Windows NT.
For documentation on trev see:
