Hi, In my attempts to find an interactive fiction interpreter which works well with Speakup, I stumbled upon jzip. This is a bit older than frotz and isn't maintained, but it supports all the modern interactive fiction standards with the exception of blorb. I thought of cutting my teeth in C by trying to integrate Andrew Plotkin's Blorblib with it. The termcap-based interface is compilable if you link with the ncurses library. It works quite nicely, and doesn't suffer from the frotz habbit of repeating old text when the screen fills. It can be found at the IF archive, in /interpreters-infocom-zcode/zip. The version I have is from 2000, and unfortunately doesn't respect the unix convention and extract into its own directory. I'm not sure how many interactive fiction players are on this list, but I thought I'd pass this along. Best and enjoy, Zack.
