#frotz — Public Fediverse posts

Microsoft open sourced Zork I, II and III. So i grabbed a copy of the Zork I source code and used the zilf compiler to successfully create an z3 file which I can feed to frotz. 🤩 🎉 😃

compiled #inform7 version 10 git on the #beepy it took about an hour. now i can not only #frotz on it, but can also #glulxe my own stuff in the sun. ;)

Dear #Zmachine experts,

why do I get garbled output from DOS frotz V2.54, when I try to run Zork Zero?

Command entered:
C:\ZORK0> frotz -d 2 zork0.zip

The current directory contains this files:
ZORK0.CG1
ZORK0.EG1
ZORK0.MG1
ZORK0.ZIP
ZORKZERO.EXE

The last file is #Infocom's original interpreter.

Thanks in advance!
