The Amiga version of Zip is a little primitive in my opinion.  It is
hard coded to use the Beyond Zork gfx.data if present as well as the
color for BZ.  It also supports sound on Lurking Horror.  Other than
that it is exactly like the UNIX verision.  No support for Prop fonts...

I'm currently using ITF's Infocom intrepreter for the Amiga.  It has a
seperate GUI prefs program, and basically looks like Zip.  It does
support Prop fonts on Z3 games (zork,zork2,zork3,etc.)  It is a little
slower than Zip but I prefer to have more control over various visual
aspects of the program.


My $0.02.
