Further than you think. ZBsic and ZChess are superb abuses of the Z-machine which demonstrate just how powerful the Z-Machine really is. OK, so it doesn't have file I/O or superb random generators, and its object-oriented concepts are significantly geared towards Interactive Fiction (which, in my honest opinion, is fundamentally better than any academic concept of OO embodied by other languages), but then neither do basic, or javascript! Give it a try. Cheers, Sabahattin ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
