Archived from groups: rec>games>int-fiction (more info?)

Does anyone know how to contact the author of ZipCE? I have made some
modifications, e.g. VGA and Blorb support, ClearType support, etc. I
would like to stick to the program name and ask the author for
permission.

Btw, is there a big difference between the z-machine implementation of
Zip and Frotz? I have used the ZipCE code because the areas where I
have to make modifications are easier to handle compared to Frostz or
Zroft.

Ciao,
Andreas

Zip is earlier than Frotz, and I don't think the base Zip code ever
got updated for the Z-Machine specification 1.0, so it's not as good
as Frotz in the more difficult corners of the spec, I think. It
probably wouldn't be too hard to fix what's missing, most of the
effort would be figuring out exactly what the missing bits are.

Thanks for your reply, David!
