find DMS in directory download-tools/amiga.
Note: Some of the archives in this directory contain ADF disk images, which
are files in a format suitable for use with the Amiga emulator program
UAE. To use these files on a real Amiga, it is necessary to unpack the

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."

beyondzo.mg1 the Beyond Zork title picture from the Atari ST release,
converted to MG1 (MCGA) format by Stefan Jokisch.
journey.mg1 two files sent by Graeme Cree; here is his comment for Journey
shogun.mg1 which also applies to Shogun:
"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
---------------------------------------------
It 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.

-------------------------------
This directory contains the XYZZYnews magazine, edited by Eileen Mullin.
The individual issues exist in two versions: .PDF = Adobe Portable Document
Format and .TXT = plain ASCII text. Both versions contain only text and
should be downloaded in ASCII mode.
The PDF files are formatted documents that can be viewed on-screen and
printed out using Adobe's Acrobat Reader without requiring any supporting
graphics or fonts. The Acrobat Readers for various machines can be found in
download-tools/mac/ACROREAD.MAC.bin for Macintosh
download-tools/pc/dosread.exe for DOS
download-tools/pc/ar16e30.exe for Windows 3.1
download-tools/pc/ar32e30.exe for Windows 95 and NT
download-tools/unix/acroread-sun.tar.Z for SunOS4.1.3 and Solaris 2.3
The definitive source for the latest versions of the readers is
http://www.adobe.com/
Special notes:
- DOS/Windows:
Some Acrobat Readers for DOS and Windows accept CRs or LFs as line breaks,
but will print a warning message ("This file is damaged but is being
repaired.") if both are used. To avoid this message, download the PDF
files to DOS or Windows in binary mode, thus preserving the LF-only
line breaks.
- Macintosh:
The files downloaded to your Mac will lose their creator info, so the PDF
files will appear as generic text file icons. Changing the file creator
from ???? to CARO (using FileTyper or a similar tool) will display the
correct icon and automatically start the Acrobat Reader when you double-
click on the file; otherwise you will have to drag the file's icon on the
Acrobat Reader icon to view or print the document.
