Hmm. I never really thought of my Archimedes as "ruthless" before.
TeX is not as unreadable as it looks (once you've skipped the first couple
of pages of macro definitions), but I appreciate the point. In addition
to the plain text version of the DM, there should also be PostScript
versions, which will print on most laser printers.
The Technical Manual and the Z-Machine Specification will not be of
any great interest to anyone except real Infocom hackers, so I wouldn't
worry too much about those. I did also write a general piece called
The Craft of Adventure, but that's also got a plain text edition.
I'm reluctant to go any further in providing manual formats because
of the difficulty of maintaining them.
