http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine " The Z-machine is a virtual machine that was developed by Joel Berez and Marc Blank in 1979 and used by Infocom for its text adventure games. The "Z" of Z-machine stands for Zork, Infocom's first adventure game. Frotz was originally written in C by Stefan Jokisch in 1995 for DOS. By 2002, development stalled and the program was picked up by David Griffith. " (Heheh, he's famous!!)

But TC++ 3.0 isn't freeware nor easily available, right?? Maybe you could check eBay, but it's probably wiser to just use (freeware-ish) TC++ 1.01 or (better) OpenWatcom or similar. (Pacific C? Desmet C? BCC/Dev86? Digital Mars? LSI C-86?) Again, it's not that TC 2.01 is so bad, but TC++ 1.01 is slightly better in a few ways (even ignoring the dopey C++ part, heh). And OpenWatcom should surpass it even, but that requires 386+ host (similar to DMC, though that is Win32-host only). But it's not for me to decide for you what compiler is best: use whatever works! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
