Hi Josh, Yes, there are some Linux infocom interpreters that will work with Orca under Ubuntu 7.x. As far as running games like STFC the major problem is there is no support for DirectX under Linux. There is a .Net Framework called Mono which would run the game, but no support for DirectX which is a core feature of the games. There is no Sapi support. In order to run games under Linux I'd have to rewrite the games to support stuff like SDL, OpenAl, and Gnome-Speech which is quite an under taking. The alternative would be to move to a Java code base.
