[net.games] Unix Zork hints needed.

mikec@reed.UUCP (Cooper) (12/17/83)

	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--

	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.
