True, Krill is technically from the Zork *universe*, but not from the Zork
*games*.  What Dave will be ROTFL about is the inept error on Activision's
part in claiming Krill was from the original Zork *games*.  True, it
wouldn't be 100% wrong, but it wouldn't be 100% correct either, and would
be a sign of ignorance on the part of Activision.  (On the other hand,
after screwing up so much with the LTOIs, not to mention LGOP2, can they
possibly sink much lower?)
