Hi Missy, the z5 extention is not an archive but the games actual extention. The Infocom text adventures usually have a z5, z8, ZIP, or DAT extention. I know it seams strange seeing a game with ZIP extention,but that convention was chosen by Infocom long before pkzip, winzip, izarc, etc came along and used it for their archives. Anyway, just copy the z5, dat, and zip files to your Winfrots directory, and run Winfrots, and it should locate the files.
