Hello everyone,

I've just put a project into the Club100 Member Upload area that I hope
will interest some of you.  It is a z-code interpreter for playing
version-3 Infocom games on the Model 100 + REX.  I've been playing ZORK I
quite a bit over the last 3 weeks with no problems.

It is here:

Some notes:
* PLEASE keep your RAM backed up in REX just in case of bugs.  I'm not
aware of any but there could be one or two or several lurking in there.
* works with version-3 z-code files only (this covers *most* Infocom games)
* you will probably need at least 24K RAM installed in your machine
* save files can only be written to/read from the RAM file system
* it doesn't support non-ASCII characters yet
* if a game fails to start, or if saving a game fails, you probably don't
have enough free RAM
* As-built it works with REX v4.8, and the packaging program z100pkg.exe is
a Windows executable.  See build.txt for instructions to build it on
Windows; modify if your needs are different.

Thanks,
Clint
