Re: 80 Cols. In Apple II Infocom Games

Thanks for the information, I'll have to look into that tool.

One other Infocom related oddity I found while looking through my games
last night is that my copy of Spellbreaker has the strangest looking
disk label.  Instead of the normal long rectangular label with the game
name written in a stylized script, it has a small square generic
looking Infocom label with the name and some other info printed by what
looks like a dot matrix printer.  Normally I'd assume that this was a
priated copy, but the Infocom logo on the top is printed professionally
on the label.  Is this some odd cost cutting label variation?  The game
is the earlier of the two Spellbreaker versions so that might mean
something.
