Well, I thought glulks waz too much of a different format anyway for any
frotz interpreter to handle. I do remember once reading an artical saying
that it's the versions of the inform language itself which get updated not
the zcode format, so there's litle need to worry about an updated
interpreter, but I'm not certain, --- -especially as all the recommended If
starter packs I've seen come with older versions.
Are their any release notes?

Only thing have really noticed while trying to get this working up to now,
is that most of the different versions you find are all oldish, whereas,
this installation package in fact seems to have been put together/uploaded
to that site dated as [26-Nov-2009].
Don't think it can handle things like glulx scripts, but most of the games
have here are *.z5 or *.z8 and it's fine with them.
Stay well

Hi Jacub.
If I remember rightly, windows frotz and win frotz are actually two
different programs, --- though they are similar (I'm not sure if windows
frotz is an earlier version).
I do know win frotz tts is built on an older version of win frotz than
the current one, because I actually foundthat win frotz tts won't play
some of the infocom games like king arthur, where as standard win frotz
will. Tts is convenient, ---- but I played using Hal's virtual focus for
a long while (actually a couple of years before I started playing audio
games), so I don't find this too much of a pest.
in fact, i originally used windows frotz on my old laptop with windows
98, but found the speech not to work (I had no idea sapi even existed
back then or that I had to install it), but found Hal quite sufficient.
It's a shame tts wasn't updated to the latest win frotz, but I'm
generally not sure how the tts developement is going, or even if
developement is continuing at all.
Btw, this really! takes me back.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
