Realising that I am going off on a tangent, I will apologise ahead of 
time for posting something that has almost nothing to do with C64 
emulation.  I recieved both Lost treasures volumes for christmas.  I am 
working my way through all the games in order.  I have won Zork I, but am 
severely stuck in Zork II.  I checked all the places I knew to look on 
the net, but no help available.  I was somewhat dissapointed that the net 
has seemingly lost all memories of the classic games which were once so 
popular among those who were here by the early 80's (pre-aol access when 
the wisdom of the net became dilluted.  No flames, please).  Anyway, 
anyone remember how to solve Zork II and other infocom games, or even 
know where I can find a FAQ?  Is there a newsgroup where this would be 
discussed in detail?  Thanks in advance and sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

See ya'
