Hi Keith, Yeah, that's exactly why I gave up on a lot of the Infocom games. Its not just that the puzzles would drive me half insane, but a lot of them depended on the documentation that came with the product. I guess they did that to try and protect the software from piracy, and without the books some of the puzzles are simply unsolvable.
