DZIP 2.11 - Infocom/Inform interpreter - supports Z1-Z5 and Z8 games This version maintained by Steve "Dosius" Nickolas Based on JZIP 2.1 by John Holder, which is based on ZIP 2.0 by Mark Howell. This program is "open source" and freeware. See license.txt for details. Donations of computer software or hardware to the author are welcomed, but not required; this is not a shareware program, and never will be. Support free software! Notes: * This is a source and binary distribution. For most purposes all you need is the DZIP.EXE file. * This distribution only supports DOS. If you need support for another OS, try using the support files from JZIP 2.1; they may work with only one change (JZIPVER to DZIPVER in two adjacent lines, look for "The story is loading"). If not, I only have DOS on my computer so, sorry, I can't help you. * Borland C users: You may need to change alloc.h back to malloc.h if your build fails. This change was required for my compiler. * Turbo C++ 1.01 users - since that compiler is freeware, I expect there to be a few - this should build "out-of-the-box" on your system; MAKE -FDZIP will do the job. ZLIB_L.LIB, ZLIB.H and ZCONF.H, *not part of DZIP*, are included for your benefit; you can build in the gzip features without the need for the zlib sources. I did not provide sources for zlib; try going to http://www.gzip.org/ and see if you find it. This is the most recent version as of build time. * Build update 2002.0217: builds before this date are broken with jzexe and do not correctly run as standalone games. I have "Merged Duplicate Strings" (-d in Turbo C++ 1.01) and it works fine. JZEXE and CKIFZS are not built by default, although I do compile them and have packaged them with the distribution as of this release. JZEXE will also work with JZIP 2.0.1g and later, if you provide the filename to jzip.exe (I altered this to dzip.exe in the code for obvious reasons).
