Hello sailors! This archive includes the Amiga port (OS 1.2 or better required) of Mark Howell's ZIP Infocom Interpreter Program. This is much the same as the now ageing AmigaZIP 3.3, except for the following enhancements: * I've modified zip.c as suggested by Graham Nelson in order to run V8 story files, which should be (hopefully) start to float around as soon as Inform 5.5 completes the beta testing stage and is officially released. However, I've compiled most of the *.inf sources specifying the V8 flag and the interpreter seems to cope with the new format properly. * I've modified math.c as suggested by Felix Lee (flee@cse.psu.edu) in rec.art.int-fiction to make random numbers a bit more random. PLEASE NOTE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Although the Amiga interface (amigaio.c) is a bit raw by todays' standards, I choosed not to change a single line of it. If the original author (Olaf `Olsen' Barthel) isn't going to improve it any further and, on the other hand, you'd like to see a more up to date interface, I'll be more than happy to put some of my spare time into it -- just drop me a line at the e-mail address below. Enjoy! Werther 'Mircko' Pirani -- e-mail: werther@karunko.nervous.com
