Infocom/Frotz/Zip Engines?

[Tye]

Hi Guys,

I've been getting back into finishing my old Infocom games--yeah!

ZipCE is what I've been using. It's OK but has some bugs. It doesn't play well with VGA screens and doesn't save its options. The interface isn't awful, but it looks like the project has been dropped by its author (who I thank, regardless).

Is anybody working on this as a project? Would anybody be interested in reviving it? If so, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks!

I started a .net version but unfortunately have not had time to do much with it. Its in C#.net and the idea was to develop one which would work on both PC's and PocketPC's and would support multiple screen resolutions etc.

I also would be really interested in knowing if anyone else is working on one.

Hey Trevor,

Doesn't look like there are any takers.
Are you considering starting this project up again? I'm not a coder but I have interface/layout ideas--mostly PPC based. :wink:
