Re: Interpreter for SHOGUN?

You can use the zip.exe interpreter to play Beyond Zork properly. Beyond Zork
had its own typeface that was included in the datafile on the IBM version
and was in a separate file on others. That's why if you try to use one of the
others on a PC that the borders will look terrible. The font file is missing
from the datafile, so the interpreter just prints garbage.
Zip.exe takes this into account, and has the special font file from
Beyond Zork built in, and thus runs all versions normally.
Another (much harder way to do it) would be to get the binary file data
from the font, copy it into it's own separate binary file, and then tack it
on to the end of your Beyond Zork file, using the DOS copy command with the
really, using zip.exe is much easier.
