  Description     : console-based Z-Machine interpreter for playing Infocom / Inform games

Fizmo is a Z-Machine interpreter ("Fizmo Interprets Z-Machine Opcodes") which
allows you to run Infocom- and most other Z-Machine based games -- except
version 6 -- on POSIX-like systems which provide a ncursesw (note the "w")
library. It has been successfully compiled on Debian based Linux, Mac OS X
(with MacPorts providing ncursesw) and Windows (using Cygwin and a self-
compiled ncursesw library). This is a "console"-style application, meaning
that it runs in textmode and does not provide any GUI whatsoever. About
Infocom and interactive fiction in general, see the "New to IF" section
at http://www.ifarchive.org.
