JZIP(1) John's Z-code Interpreter Program JZIP(1) NAME jzip - execute Infocom v1-5 and Inform v1-8 game files SYNOPSIS jzip [ options ] z-file-name DESCRIPTION jzip invokes the Z-code Interpreter. See the Makefile contained in the source distribution to compile jzip. Machine specific options are listed at the beginning. REQUIREMENTS jzip will run under most (if not all) flavors of Unix, including AIX, Solaris, SunOS, HP/UX, Linux, Free/NetBSD, IRIX, NeXT Mach, DEC OSF/1, and others. INSTALLATION To install jzip, edit the Makefile with the options appropriate for your system, then issue the command make. It is probably a good idea to install the jzip executable in /usr/lo- cal/bin, and the man page in /usr/local/man/man1. EDITING John Menichelli(menichel@pixi.com) has graced us with editing code. JZip now supports arrowkey editing in UNIX. Up/Down selects the previous / next command in history Left/Right moves the cursor over the line. Backspace deletes Typing inserts under the cursor OPTIONS -l n lines in display -c n columns in display -r n text right margin (default = 0) -t n text top margin (default = 0) -v display version information ENVIRONMENT jzip looks for the environment variable INFOCOM_PATH and will use the path found there to look for the story file specified on the command line if the story file cannot be found in the current directory. Set INFOCOM_PATH with setenv. CREDITS jzip is written and maintained by John Holder (jholder@nmsu.edu), based on the ZIP v2.0 sources by Mark Howell and Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel. Mark Phillips and Andrew S. Benham contributed portability and bug fixes of various sorts. This manpage was originally written by Michael S. Phillips. BUGS Control characters are still passed to the interpreter (for now). TODO Keystrokes to handle editing/reptition of previous commands DJGPP compiles for DOS. (Note: There is a DOS version, just not a DJGPP DOS version.) Handling of CTRL characters under Unix AVAILABILITY The most recent version of jzip can be ftp'ed from ftp.gmd.de, in the /if-archive/infocom/interpreters/zip/ directory.
