Date: Fri, 30 Apr 93 05:09:22 EDT From: aa382@freenet.carleton.ca (Marc Sira) To: blasius@gmd.de I just stuck a couple of files in the if-uploads section that are relevant to Infocom and the Apple II. One is infocompro.shk - this includes a utility (InfoSnarf) to extract the game data from the older 5.25" disk format for 8-bit Apple II's and save them in the newer standard format. InfocomPro itself is an interpreter that runs under ProDOS, making these games playable on newer large-capacity disk devices. The second upload is GNOInfocom.shk, which is useful to people running the Unix workalike system GNO on an Apple IIGS. It's simply an interpreter which reads the same datafiles as InfocomPro (or from the various editions of the Lost Treasures of Infocom for instance). Both are freeware, and packed with ShrinkIt (the usual packer for the II; unpack with the 8 or 16-bit versions of ShrinkIt, or with NuLib on a Unix system). (this information may be useful in a README file on the archive) Thanks, Marc -- Marc Sira | aa382@freenet.carleton.ca | "Your god drinks...p-p-peach nectar." toh@micor.ocunix.on.ca ' [note by Volker Blasius: file infocompro.shk is linked to infocom/tools/infocompro.shk]
