Hi Joseph, If I may suggest an alternative, while I haven't used frotz on the Mac, I do love ZOom. That will play not only zCode games, but Tads and Adrift and Glulx as well. It speaks game text. I imagine it would have issues with Bureaucracys forms, sadly, but at least you won't be losing a few lines here and there. Sorry I can't help with Frotz directly. Zoom is at www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom. Best and enjoy those old Infocom games. Trinity is special. Yours, Zack. On Apr 21, 2011, at 6:40 PM, Joseph Norton wrote:
