My girlfriend has just gotten nostalgic for The Hitchhikers Guide,
while I'm hankering for Suspended.  I went out and grabbed a couple PC
interpreters, but my old Commodore 64 1541 drive seems to have died in
its sleep and I have no way to get the data files for these games on
to my PC.

So my question is, will anyone help me?  I do indeed own both games
(both had excellent bonus items included.  Were there any other
Infocom games that included a map and counters like Suspended did?),
and if I could read my C64 disks I'd either copy them myself or play
right on the machine, but I can do neither.  I'd appreciate it if
someone can tell me where to find Infocom data files, or simply mailed
them to me.



Thank you,
John
