Cool, I will give that a try, maybe some of the old infocoms that are not
displaying like Nord and Bert might with Waffle Infocom!

Yeah I too played with Frotz, no luck for me either again being in Windows.
Like you said I read folks in Linux have luck with it though.

You and I both! But might be enough to open my mind and dust off the old
programmer in me and see what can be done. I say that like I have time and
patients! LOL

Thanks for the reply I will explore your suggestion of Waffle for sure!!!!
