[Wanna see something REALLY scary?] Argh! (growl grumble). Well, a team of three relatively good Infocom game players (including me) have been stuck for some time trying to get the Babel fish early in HHGttG. We've gone through the whole scenerio of having the fish pass through the coat, on the towel, etc etc until the upper-half-of-the-room cleaning robot gets it, and I now believe that this is a red herring. The most promising strategy seems to be to lie down in front of the dispenser, but pressing the button suddenly becomes a problem. Any hints on how to get one of these squirmy little things would be greatly appreciated. I saw a couple of requests for this info 2 weeks ago, but the people querying must have gotten personal replies. Thanks in advance. Randy Kopach alberta!cavell!kopach @ University of Alberta

==[ Frobozz Magic Line-Eater Bait ]== Some general hints: 1) What did it say about the satchel when the ground robot plowed into it? 2) Can the flying robot catch more than one thing at a time? 3) What is expendable that you have a lot of? If you need any more help (with this or any other part of the game), write me. Paul Anderson UC Academic Computer Center ucbvax!decvax!sdcsvx!sdcc3!sdcc6!ir278
