Yup. Er... hmmm, I just checked, and I can't find the package on my RHL 6.1
system. They must have dropped the package or something. :(
However, an rpmfind search for "infocom" turned up a match for a package
called "xzip", a "Z-code interpreter for Infocom format text adventure games".
It is in the Power Tools 6.1 distribution.
If it wasn't for rpmfind, I would have switched to Debian by now. :-)

Well, in this case, you wouldn't have found anything, but if you installed
the "Red Hat Linux Reference Guide" package (rhl-rg), which has the complete
package list, you can search for a foo package by using:
grep -il foo /usr/doc/rhl-rg-6.1en/*.html

Well, I can't really verify your sanity.... ;-)
