MacFrotz ReviewAlternatives exist - Version: 1.0b6, 9/7/2003 02:28PM PST

This appears to be pretty well done. (a bit large though, but thats what you get with REALBasic)

Previous feedbackers don't seem to be aware that numerous alternatives for playing IF on OSX exist. Zoom, Zip Infinity, MaxZip, etc, etc.. There was never any reason to use the 'command line'. see http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/if.html for a big list.

MacFrotz Commentaryvery nice... - Version: 1.0b3, 8/24/2003 09:14AM PST

great offering - for those of us who are keyboard-averse... will test on my collection of infocom zcodes... works with original advent (of course...) and infocom's ballyhoo --

please implement support for mouse scroll wheel if you can.

save command from inside game stores .sav file to root - probably don't want to do that - put in your zcode file or user's home documents folder or allow user to choose place.

be nice to have a way to print the history also.

many thanks -- modern ways to use antiques are very much appreciated... ;-)

Looks very good for a 1.0 Beta. Escpecially for those who want to play old text adventures without installing frotz on their own or throug fink.
