then perhaps it's just the copies of these games I have that do not allow playing.

Hi.

Actually Arthur, shogun etc are quite playable with the standard version of windows frotz, all you need to do is set the file type in the open dialogue to "infocom files dat, zip" and then open them, or use the winfrotz program in internet explorer to open the zip or dat file (not to be confused with compressed files or data files).

the bad news is this is unique to winfrotz, filfre won't do it, and I'm not sure about the mac interpreter though I'd guess not, however isnse I personally prefer winfrotz anyway this wasn't a problem for me.

hth.

Beware the grue!

Dark.
