Hi,

Does anybody know of a program or project to allow Infocom text
adventure games to run on a newton?  If it exists, it would be a ZIL
language interpreter running on a newt, much the way that ZIP runs on a
mac.  It would then read and interpret the Infocom game files for
almost any platform.  These interpreters seem to exist for many
computers such as Apple ][, mac, IBM PC, Next,...  Why not a newton?

Thanks - Jon
