I've seen a lot of articles about rogue lately (I play it too), but
haven't seen much (anything) about the games of adventure or zork on
the net.  There must be people who still play these games.  I have
gotten all the way through adventure ("adventurer grandmaster", oooh)
but have run into a few stumbling blocks playing zork.  I have a few
questions that I could use answers (hints?) to.  Here are some of them:

     1) How to get the sphere?
     2) How to cross the rainbow?
     3) What room is "Hello, sailor" useful?
     4) What is the word that scares the cyclops? ("Sinbad" did in one
	version.
     5) What is the curtain of light and its use?
     6) What are the timbers good for?

If there is anyone out there who would be interested in trading info,
giving hints, or answering questions about these games, I would greatly
appreciate it.


Thanks,

Mike Hatch
