Hi,
Personally, I find jzip a little more speech-friendly than Linux frotz.
Unfortunately, Frotz has a habbit of rereading old text when used with
Speakup, at least in my experience. jzip doesn't suffer from this
problem. It is probably available in the package repositories for your
distribution, or if not can be found on the IF Archive and compiled from
source easily enough.
For Tads games, frobtads works very well and doesn't suffer from the same
sorts of repeated text problems.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hi Jacob,
Did you try using frotz for Linux? It is in the Ubuntu software
repositories and you can get it by doing
sudo apt-get install frotz
and with it you can play most inform style IF games. However, it
doesn't have speech output like Winfrotz TTS so you will need to use
speakup or something like that with it to read the screens.

What would I use on my portable image/version of vinux for IFDB games -
something similar to winfrotz etc., and preferably with some form of speech
output?
