There IS a IIGS infocom interpreter.  It was in the Lost Treasures
of Infocom collection.  However, I don't know where you'd find

(By the way, did the graphics slideshow disk I email you display
the pictures correctly?  AppleTalk is supposed to have a problem
of breaking up images of that graphics mode.)
