The if-archive is at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive, all of the infocom
related stuff is in the infocom directory.

There is some documentation at:

  ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/interpreters/specification/

And there is a perl script, zasm, that compiles "assembly"
instructions to z-code.

The newsgroup is rec.games.int-fiction.
