- The STORY.COM program that comes with Infocom's Zork Trilogy can apparently
- be used with ANY datafile from ANY Infocom game. I.e., STORY is Infocom's
- Universal Game Interpreter.
-
- For example, if you bought the Zork Trilogy for IBM PC, and you happen to
- have several other games in CP/M format, just use UNIFORM (etc.) to transfer
- your .DAT files (but not the .COM files) over to IBM diskettes.
-
- Then use STORY to run any and all of the games you already own, using the
- /g parameter to name the appropriate data file!
-
- Examples: story /ghitchhik.dat
- story /ginfidel.dat
- story /w /gzork3.dat
-
- The other parameters (such as /w) are documented in your Zork Trilogy game
- manual.
