Frotz V1.01 - plays all Infocom games except version 6 (graphic) games.
Written by Stefan Jokisch in 1995. This is a standard 0.2 interpreter.
Frotz is freeware. It may be used and copied without charges
for non-commercial purposes. Copyright (c) by Stefan Jokisch.
This program evolved from Mark Howell's Zip. Although the source
code is completely re-written, one can still find traces of Zip.
Many thanks to Paul D. Doherty for his continuing support of this
project. Thanks to Alan Sherrod for testing the performance; to
John Kennedy for his helpful hints on PC video boards; to Thomas
Biskup, Graeme Cree, Jason Dyer, Marnix Klooster and John Mackin
for their bug reports.
Please report bugs to jokisch@ls7.informatik.uni-dortmund.de.
