Hi michael.
there is something called zume I think, check phil's list of mac stuff. I
think it will play tads, inform and adrift format games, but I have no idea
whether it'll play the older zcode stuff in more unusual formats like the
infocom games the way winfrotz does.
Beware the Grue!

Well kieth, the ones on http://if.illuminion.de/index.html are absolutely
fine with winfrotz, indeed I checked before posting the previous message,
so you might considder redownloading them from there, and opening the dat
or zip files with winfrotz as I dscribed.
All the best,
Dark.

then perhaps it's just the copies of these games I have that do not
allow playing.

Hi.
Actually Arthur, shogun etc are quite playable with the standard
version of windows frotz, all you need to do is set the file type in
the open dialogue to "infocom files dat, zip" and then open them, or
use the winfrotz program in internet explorer to open the zip or dat
file (not to be confused with compressed files or data files).
the bad news is this is unique to winfrotz, filfre won't do it, and I'm
not sure about the mac interpreter though I'd guess not, however isnse
I personally prefer winfrotz anyway this wasn't a problem for me.
hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
