For the record: Graham Nelson is on holiday for another week. Before
leaving, he sent me the results of passing the Crobe source code
through his Phoenix to z-code translator, and I am playing it with
Frotz. There are some minor problems - to finish the game with a
perfect score I need to use one "magic move" and one "magic take"
because of things which don't happen as they should do. But almost
every feature of the Phoenix adventure language is working. Once Crobe
works all the others should happen much more quickly. In the case of
Acheton, we still need Topologika's blessing - the three authors have
already given theirs, conditional on Topologika saying ok.
