Interesting. I wonder if there's anything in there that's helpful in
making a pdp8 zmachine. I went ahead and uploaded it to the IF Archive.
Frotz, owing to its origins in C, is going to have
huge amounts of
library overhead.
I'm aware of that problem. However, the core and dumb interface use only
libc, so that may be helpful.
