Is there anyone who knows Unix Zork. I have some questions about how to get into Hades; how to get onto the Rainbow and so forth. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks-- Mike Cooper tektronix!reed!mikec

Although I am familiar with the micro-computer disk version of Zork, there are apparent differences in solving some of the tasks of the Unix version. The following is a list of tasks that my friends and I have not been able to solve: 1) What is the precedure for getting into Hades? From the micro version of Zork, I know when you ring the bell it gets red hot, but on Unix it just says, "Ding, Dong." 2) I know you are suppose to punchure the boat somehow so that the water sprays up and freezes, making a bridge, but what do you use to punchure the boat with? 3) Is there a Volcano area beyond the Glacier or Volcano View areas? Is there a dragon as in the disk version that we have just not run into or is there some way we are suppose to find him ourselves? In the disk version he is need to melt the Glacier thus opening the way to the Volcano area. Is there another way of melting the Glacier to get to this area, if it exists? I have tried melting it with the Torch, but I have been swept away by the flood and died. 4) How do you get into the vault in the bank? I know that you are suppose to throw something through the curtain of light and then be able to go through the light, but this doesn't work. What is the exact procedure? 5) Is there a way to stop the Round Room from spinning? 6) What is the correct syntax for eating the "EAT ME" cake in the Tea Room? Your answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Mike Cooper tektronix!reed!mikec
