I'd just like to point out that I'm working on packages for a bunch of IF interpreters using the glk I/O library; I've done Nitfol (Z-machine) and Glulxe (Glulx), and someone's just pointed me to a Tads glk interpreter. There's also a few other things in there that use glk. deb http://plover.net/~hjalfi/debian ./ deb-src http://plover.net/~hjalfi/debian ./ Just in case anyone's doing anything similar. -- +- David Given --------McQ-+ | Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | "Space is the final frontier, and so is the sewage | Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | farm." --- Diana Wynne Jones, _Archer's Goon_ +- http://www.cowlark.com -+
