This is more information about the tomb of the unknown implementer.
IF you didnt read the last one, you probably dont want to read this
one either -- however, if you *did* this may save you endless frustration.

 	In some version of zork the crypt is not good for anything.
These versions make you say a magical incantation to get to the
endgame (and it isnt "hello sailor" either) because the engame was
patched onto the existing no-endgame version and the patcher didnt
know enough either a) about zork or b) about patching to put it  in
the right place.

	If you dont have an endgame, or if you cant get it to work
using Adam's suggestion, get the person who installed it to tell you
how to magically get in.  If that person is not available, put another
query into net.games -- and give a detailed description of which zork
you are running. (ie RSX version patched to v6, further patched for
4.1bsd, or FORTRAN source with some rewriting to get to run under f77)
