Do you actually have an IBM 5150? I'm not saying targeting that is a bad goal, but indeed it's hard to target something you don't have in real life in actual hardware. Or is that just your generic target (aka, 8086)? I think TC201 is too old to be useful (some bugs, lacks). At the very least, I'd recommend TC++101 or (even better) OpenWatcom. There are others too, of course. And keep in mind that I've only very rarely used Frotz, mostly for zedfunge / zbefunge, and I've not really used it for playing games, esp. not gfx ones. The one I ended up preferring was from circa 2000 (Jim Dunleavy? 2.40?), a port to DJGPP. So I would personally start there (esp. since older 16-bit version was only 2.32, IIRC). http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXinfocomXinterpretersXfrotz.html P.S. IIRC, usosutki (sp?), aka Steve Nickolas, was involved in a port at some point. He was active on this mailing list a few months ago, so perhaps he'll respond with better info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
