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!
Dark.

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,

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.
