Yeah, that looks right, and verified that the results I need are getting passed to bbs.exec, but I think frotz doesn't like something. It's throwing up TERMCAP errors. I had to catch the output in a janky way, but it threw up:
ERROR: Unknown terminal: ansi-bbs
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make s
ure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the
TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry
--clip--
Tried with both frotz and dfrotz, same error.
