	He was actually referring to Tom Phelps' program "InfocomPro"..
That was discussed here in the last year or so..

	Another included program, "InfoSnarf" will pull out the Revision B
interpreter from an Infocom game you have and then you can use the data
files from the "Lost Treasures of Infocom" (Big Red Computer Club sells the
GS version, or the data files from one of the versions for other computers) to 
play most if not all of the games included in the "Lost Treasures".

	Note apparently the "Lost Treasures" does the same basic thing, but
BRCC is only doing a GS version for some extremely odd reason.  As of 
Apple Expo West it wasn't done yet, so I haven't seen their version yet.

	The InfocomPro archive should be on cco.caltech.edu somewhere.
