I've been wanting to know this for a while, and this looks like a good
place to ask...

How are the old Infocom text games (like Zork, Wishbringer, etc)
encoded? I always wanted to write a program that would decode and save
all the text in the game, just to see what was written in there.

Since I've seen messages about Infocom game parsers and compilers,
someone has obviously figured it out. Is there any way I can get access
to this stuff without FTP?

Thanks in advance!
