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) Laura Creighton decvax!utzoo!laura
