Well kieth, the ones on http://if.illuminion.de/index.html are absolutely
fine with winfrotz, indeed I checked before posting the previous message, so
you might considder redownloading them from there, and opening the dat or
zip files with winfrotz as I dscribed.
All the best,
Dark.

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.
