"Me Too" (ouch). I discovered this group a couple of months ago, and
have been reading it regularly ever since. I have plundered the
archive and have had a great deal of pleasure playing 'Jigsaw' and the
likes.

Some years ago (before I had net access), I spent a great deal of time
attempting to "reverse engineer" the Infocom games. Now I have seen
the sources to (j)zip, I have a great deal of admiration for both the
folks at Infocom, and the people here who produce and maintain the
compiler and the interpreters and the new games.

It is very unlikely that I will ever produce a work of I.F. - I simply
don't have the creative writing skills. From the point of view of a
consumer I would like to add my encouragement and say thanks !
