       Ztools, the Infocom Toolkit by Mark Howell,
       currently maintained by Matthew T. Russotto.
       
       Ztools contains the following tools (as of version 7/3.1, 07nov98):
       
       check    - checks story file integrity, same as $verify command. Works on al
       types except for V1, V2 and early V3 games which have no checksum
       in the header. Optionally outputs a new story file of the correct
       length.
       
       infodump - dumps header, object list, grammar and dictionary of a given
       story file. Works on all types. Grammar doesn't work for V6
       games yet.
       
       inforead - converts IBM bootable disks to story files. Only for IBM PCs,
       requires Microsoft C or Borland C.
       
       pix2gif  - convert IBM MCGA/VGA (`*.MG1`) picture files from V6 games to
       individual GIF files, viewable on most platforms.
       
       txd      - disassembles story files to Z code assembly language, plus text
       strings.  Works on all games from V1 to V8. Also supports Inform
       assembler syntax.
       
       Some of the executables in this directory contain older versions of Ztools
       which may not support all of the game files mentioned above.
