Hi -

I have the lost treasures of infocom disc, and I'm trying to
figure out the best way of converting the *.dat files.

I know the singular ones can just be renamed to whatever.z3,
but what about the ones that have graphics and stuff?  Some
come with stuff in the same directory, some come with a graphics
subdir... I would like to be able to put each game into one
file so I can pull them to my unix box and run frotz on them.
Has anyone already done this?

By the way, what makes a complete collection, anyway?
LTOI + shogun + HHGTTG + solid gold games?

Curt
