[net.games] Starcross and Zork III hints needed

!!!!!!!  Ha !!   Take that !!!!

     While playing Starcross and Zork III, my friends and I have run 
  across a couple of sticky problems. We would sure appreciate any
  hints that someone might care to pass along to us.

1)   It appears that we need to use the time machine to get the jewels
     form the Jewel Room, yet we haven't been able to find a suitable 
     hiding place for us to retrieve them from.

2)   In order to get the red rod from the rat-ant nest, we think that
     it would be wise to get some unicorn meat to keep the ants busy
     while we grab the rod. Are we on the right track? 


                                  Many Thanx in Advance

 Thats the same approach that I was trying to take in Starcross
....but.... it did'nt work. Mail me if you want a better clue than
this. (I would have mailed you but I hit 'w' before i knew what
happened) Examine the nest, and think of the materials it is built
with.

Although I can't help you on Zork III, I can tell you that you are not on
the right track about the red rod.....Lets just say that I don't want to
throw the answer right at your feet........(hint,hint..)
