Oh, and one other thing. I would like to find a ZCode interpreter for the CoCo. My search has been empty there, too. Zcode is the Infocom adventure game format (Interactive Fiction), which is currently still in use today (The Inform programming language compiles to it, for instance). I'd like to build some disks that include the interpreter and some recent ZCode games, but lack of an interpreter holds me back. :) I know it exists. The guy who wrote Infocom's version even responded to one of my other inquiries in the rec.games.int-fiction group. I figure that one would be 32-character mode. With the CoCo 3's 40 and 80 column modes, I'd *like* to find a ZCode interpreter specifically for it. Interactive Fiction would play much better in 80 columns. :) Any help is appreciated! ---- Mike
