	Could anyone tell me if the newer infocom games are truly MS-DOS
games (it does seem to say so on the label).  I have a machine which is
definitely NOT IBM compatible and have noticed that AMFV seems to exist only
in the IBM pc format now.  In the past I have had to always purchase games
directly from INFOCOM (at list prices) in order to get a version that is
MS_DOS that doesn't use the IBM BIOS calls.  Could anyone tell me if INFOCOM
has silently stopped supporting true MSDOS and has decided to support only
IBM clones?  I wrote them a letter but have received no reply.  Thanks.
