gc-tadsc-22.patch A patch file to adapt the source code from gc-src.zip above
to TADS version 2.2 or later, by Rick Litherland.
Rick's explanation: "This is (necessary) because of a change
in the interpretation of the '-' operator inside lists made
with version 2.2. The result is that two NPCs (Hoch and
Konigsberg), who provide a vital clue, disappear early in the
game, making it much harder to get the clue. If the source
file "people.t" is patched with my file, this will be
corrected. (It also means that another NPC, Marvin Minsky,
will now show up and may cause you to lose points, but so it
goes.) Incidentally, I have tried to ensure that the patched
file will still compile and run under versions before 2.2,
but I haven't been able to check this."

This directory contains the MCGA graphics files released as part of Infocom's

"The IBM version of JOURNEY supplied both 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes.
Unfortunately, the VGA version of the game was only on the 3.5" disks.
Thus many copies of JOURNEY found in used software stores are missing the
VGA version of the game, because the previous owner kept the 3.5" disks
when he sold it. JOURNEY owners who don't have the VGA version need only
insert the enclosed journey.mg1 file in a directory with journey.exe and
journey.zip, and type JOURNEY /DM to start the game."

Ztools, the Infocom Toolkit by Mark Howell,
currently maintained by Matthew T. Russotto
---------------------------------------------
Ztools contains the following tools:
check - checks story file integrity, same as $verify command. Works on all
types except for V1, V2 and early V3 games which have no checksum
in the header. Optionally outputs a new story file of the correct
length.
infodump - dumps header, object list, grammar and dictionary of a given
story file. Works on all types. Grammar doesn't work for V6
games yet.
inforead - converts IBM bootable disks to story files. Only for IBM PCs,
requires Microsoft C or Borland C.
pix2gif - convert IBM MCGA/VGA (*.MG1) picture files from V6 games to
individual GIF files, viewable on most platforms.
txd - disassembles story files to Z code assembly language, plus text
strings. Works on all games from V1 to V8. Also supports Inform
assembler syntax.
Current version: 7/3.1 (07nov98). Some of the executables below contain older
versions of Ztools which may not support all of the game files mentioned above.

A map drawing program for Windows: you click on a grid to
create rooms and connections, then you enter room
descriptions, annotations, and so on. The result can be
exported as a skeleton file for SINTAC (see

Caveat: Everything is in Spanish (but can be translated with
a Windows resource editor and is rather easy to use, anyway).
