	The only game that is in other computers' versions of Lost Treasures
of Infocom that isn't in LTOI GS from BRCC is Zork Zero.  That's because they
don't have an interpreter for it.  Other people have told me BRCC has said it
would be a free upgrade if they get it to work.  I've been looking around a
little bit in the Interactive Fiction archives (check out rec.arts.int-fiction
and rec.games.int-fiction for more info -- the latter is the place to ask
questions when you get stuck on the games! heh)... but I haven't found an
interpreter that works on version 6 games. I keep hearing rumors that "someone"
is working on one.. no firm leads yet.  (Anyone that has any info please 
forward it)

	Also, the documentation in LTOI GS is the same as in the other 
computers' versions.
