We serious Infocom fanatics learned long ago that the main program was a constant on any given platform -- and that that the datafiles worked on _any_ platform if properly transferred. My Tandy 2000 Planetfall and HHGttG datafiles worked fine on my Color Computer. I'm not making fun. (well, you're an MS guy and you're looking for an ancient MS product, I guess I am a little bit.) The key items with those Infocom products are the core program for the platform and _ALL OF THE LITTLE "CLUES" IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING_! That stuff I suspect is hen's teeth. Possibly eventually the biggest collectable in the software end, equivalent to early copies of Monopoly and some Milton-Bradley games. (Oh, and all of the Infocom datafiles work just fine with the Linux free core as well.)
