Winfrotz will accept a parameter list with the first parameter being the path to the .dat file that you want to process. Therefore if you create a shortcut to Winfrotz and modify the "target" value (through properties) to something such as ...

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\WinFrotz\WinFrotz.e xe" "C:\StatFall\stationf.dat" (leave space before parameter.)

then when you double click the shortcut it will start Stationfall automatically. You can then rename the shortcut to Stationfall if you desire.

EDIT: There should not be a space in the .exe part of the program path. I can't get it to go away.

Yes, I am. I actually realized it around 2 AM, but I was almost asleep and decided to change my post after seeing if I could remember Stationfall. Waited too long.

You tend to lose a lot of memory when you get up into your hundreds.

Geezer If anyone gets hopelessly stuck and needs a clue here is a link to an on-line version of the Stationfall invisiclues.

Fulano de Tal Borodin,

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the game Suspended instead of Stationfall?

humorguy The spoken word: Shakespeare - or Infocom?

.... I have yet to decide!

Borodin I remember when this first came out! I reviewed it for a local radio station. It was one of the Infocom games I most enjoyed, because it put a premium on individual perceptions and words. Interpreting what was said by each of the robots was a challenge and great fun. Thanks for putting it up, again.

The Fifth Horseman All you need to run this game in DOSBox is a DOS-based Frotz interpreter. You can find one here:

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

First of all, this is awesome. :nuts: Thanks for posting.

Second, is there any way to run this in DosBox? I've got it working in the z-machine, but it just doesn't feel the same as the old Dos layout. If there's any way to change it, let me know, otherwise it's no big deal.
