"ZIP format interpreter fo", declared Anders Borg from the Vogon ship:

AB>Dear fellow-adventurers,

AB>I've downloaded WInfocom and WZip from ftp.gmd.de and wonder:

AB>- Are there newer versions of these tools?

AB>- Is the source code available somewhere?

AB>- Are there any other Windows-based ZIP interpreters available?

AB>- Is there any TADS interpreter that runs under Windows?

I use WinZIP, which I also got from ftp.gmd.de. I'm not sure if thats
the WZIp you mentioned or not. It's the one that prints "Info*m
Interpreter" on the window title for some reason. It has two major
drawbacks: it's painfully slow at printing text, and it doesn't print
[more] messages, do if something scrolls off the screen you have to
scroll back to it. But it does have a scrollback, at least. Normally I
use it for debugging cause I can leave it open and load the game file
from a pick-list every time a recompile it, but for actually *playing* a
game I use the basic ZIP interpreter for Dos.
