dumbfrotz won't read Blorb files
Hello, when using the latest version of frotz (built on Linux with unchanged Makefile) and trying to run Child's Play, I get:
./dfrotz ChildsPlay.zblorb
Fatal error: Unknown Z-code version
Running ./frotz ChildsPlay.zblorb
works perfectly and gives no errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (I do need dumbfrotz specifically because I'm interested in an stdin/stdout interpreter) :)
At the moment, Dumb Frotz does not include blorb-processing code.
Thank you! Is there any simple stdin/stdout interpreter (such as Dumb Frotz) that would work with zblorb files, please (like glulxe with cheapglk works for gblorb files)? If this question is out of scope of (Dumb) Frotz, I'll move the discussion to intfiction.org forums.
I suppose a glk-aware zmachine would do when linked with cheapglk. I'll see what I can do to make a compile time option to add blorb-processing.
I added preliminary support for loading game data from Blorb files: 3140e076eef1fb3ddbf348ee11199c9f3bd9104d. I'm reasonably sure this is correct and bug free, but I'd like to make sure that Blorb support is optional for building the Dumb interface before I close this issue.
