> like Zork, and newer \"interactive fiction\") to Qt 3 / Qt 2.3 / Qt Embedded
> / KDE 3. 99% of z-machine interpreters violate newer interface guidelines by
> not providing scrollback, or resizable windows (or by providing broken
> resizing and scrollback in a strange interface like WinFrotz 2002.) This
> project will provide a much more uniform interface by initially dropping
> support for graphical text adventures such as Zork 0.

> Currently the project compiles for Qt 3 only, and has only been compiled with

> Other Software Required:
> This program requires Qt 3 currently. I\'m planning on porting it to Qt 2.3,
