Yeah. I'm sorry. I still don't believe you. I really WANT to, but I can't. 
Especially 'cause you made it sound like you did it at the age of 12 or some-
thing. And didn't you say something about not having a real version of
Enchanter so you copied one and sent it to Liz (What WAS her last name?) 
Actually, that reminds me of when I mapped all the Zorks, and I drew the cool
Zork logo with the stones on the maps. Whoa... that reminds me of another
thing. Does anyone understand the Oddly-Angled Rooms to Zork II? I solved the
puzzle, (first time by accident), but I could never figure out how to map it!
It seems like the rooms move around. I would appreciate if anyone could tell
me if they know.
