HELP!  In zork, my lamp is dying and I can't find batteries for it
(or whatever it runs on).  Also, what is the plastique explosive used
for and how do I use it?

Mega-zorkbits for those zorkites providing good tips.

E-mail to me at ...decvax!mcnc!idis!trio

Thanks,

There are no batteries.  You have to find another light source, which
won't wear out until you make it do so.

You'll find out eventually.  In fact, this relates to the previous
question, because in order to get half-way to the appropriate location, you
have to burn out your best light source by doing something else with it.

Normans clue is so criptic that even I who know how to get to Zork III
have trouble understanding it.
If you have plastic explosive you will obviously need a fuse, and matches..
You must put the explosive in a confined space to get the blast for your buck..
And a criptic clue of my own...
You've got to BLOW SOME THING UP ... (in more ways than one)
