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 library. Please
note the trailing "w", indicating that wide-chrachter support is required.
This distribution contains the following packages:
- libfizmo, providing the interpreter core
- libcellif, providing a translation for Z-Machine output into simple
goto-xy and print-commands for fixed-width screens
- libsndifsdl, supplying a SDL-based sound interface
- libdrilbo, providing support for jpeg, png and infocom's mg1 image
reading as well as X11-based output.
- libglkif, which provides basic GLK bindings.
- fizmo-ncursesw, a screen interface uses ncurses for display.
- fizmo-console, a barebone screen interface.
- fizmo-glktermw, an example GLK implmentation.
Please see INSTALL.txt on how to bulid the packages.

such as stop with an error message, crash or cleesh your machine into a
frog. There is no warranty of any kind whatsoever and you're entirely on
your own when running it.
