Not to my knowledge. Googling shows that once or twice over
the years it's been mentioned as a possibility, but nobody
seems to have taken the bait.

Yes, Visual basic will do.
Thanks!

I'm curious what that must look like, what with Basic's lack of
unsigned datatypes and such. Alot of bit-twiddling, I suppose?
Well, it'd be much worse in Intercal.

You could by any chance share any Z-Machine related code in VB?

No, you just declare a "long" and "Binary And" it with $FFFFFFFF,
which gives you an unsigned 16 bit integer for most purposes.
Terry, if you are interested, I have an unfinished VB6 ZCode
interpreter that is mostly done. It is VERY rough round the edges, but
I was able to play most Comp03 games on it... I can mail you the
source code if you want.

That would be great! All I want to play are V3 games anyway...the old
Infocom games are my target. I am actually writing the interpreter for the
Apple II computer...but need some basic code for an example. I tried to
reply via email but it bounced.
Thanks!

I would be very interested in seeing the VB6 source code if you are

put it up on the archive?

I will try and tidy it up a bit and put a zip file on the archive over
the weekend. To remind everyone again, the project is VERY
undercooked, so no guarantees whatsoever.

Tidying isn't necessary...there are lots of unfinished things on the
archive....just submit with a "not really completed" note.

Well then....put up an subversion server somewhere (or I can do it for
you) and we can share the development with the community. There are a
few other c# developers hereabouts and I'm one of them.
That is, if you want help....otherwise keep us posted. The windowing
stuff isn't so bad. We have some code in the IF# svn repository if you
want to take a look. I'd prefer not to post the address here, so I'll
reply directly with that...
