I've grabbed the source to the zip interpreter.
It took a slight bit of fiddling, but I got it to compile under
leopard. I'll post it on the softcon.com/mac page, but be advised, it
doesn't behave very well, unless there's a lot of text to be spoken,
vo misses the entire screen of output.
It's possilbe fiddling around with cursor tracking, and tracking
options may fix this, and if it does, please let us know.
I'll also see what I can do about getting some of the other game
interpreters working under leopard and post them on softcon.com/mac as
well.
I'll drop a line here with the complete url once they begin showing up
there.
(look for this one at http://www.softcon.com/mac/games/zip)
It's a terminal app, so be sure to run a terminal session before
trying to use it.
If anyone has a preference on which interpreters should be worked on
first, let me know (though I'm sure mac ersions of most of them exist
already) I'll see what (if anything) can be done with them to make
them more vo friendly.
Hope this helps.

Hello John,
I love Interactive Fiction. There is also a better interpriter as
well, it's called Zoom. I don't remember it's own website off hand,
but if you go to http://www.lioncourt.com, you will see on the top
Apps page that it is listed there, and it can also play tads and
other types of IF games.
Regards.

Hey all. I play interactive fiction games a lot on my BrailleNote,
but
there are some I would like to play on my Mac as well. Can somebody
please tell me where I can find a free and accessible interpreter so
VO can read the descriptions and prompts to me? In other words, I'm
looking for the engine that can run the games written in Inform and
the Infocom games. Thanks for the help.
