Someone asked me about this interpreter. It is written by Day Evan,
who ported the Frotz-interpreter from the PC to the IIGS. The program
is currently in beta-stage. It handles z3, z4, z5, and z8 version
games available at the ftp site above. Until that time, you can only
play games up to version z5 with an interpreter available from
unknown@apple.com (zip, runs under Orca or Gno shell), or use the
interpreter that came with the Lost Treasures of Infocom package.
