transferring z files to iphonefrotz on windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using the new version of iphonefrotz on my ipod touch. My computer's
operating system is Windows XP, and so can't use the magnet program
mentioned before. I would like to transfer my infocom z files onto this new
version of iphonefrotz, how can I do this?

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere, but I didn't find a solution in my
searching.

I would like to know also. I have been searching the phone directories but 
cannot find the app or where it is 
storing the game files. Please help as I am dying to play all of my Infocom 
games on the iPhone!

Even with a Mac, I haven't had any luck transferring files with FileMagnet.

However, if you have access to a webserver, you can transfer your own files by
placing them on the webserver, then entering the URL in the search bar in the 
IFDB page.

To use File Magnet, the files have to have a recognized Z-machine extension.
Make sure the file ends in .z3, .z4, .z5, or .z8.  (.dat should work too, but I 
haven't tested it.)

Windows users will need to set up a local web server to download the files for 
now.
Someone just released a multi-platform file transfer program called DataCase, 
and I will look into adding 
support for that for the next version.

Also, zshare.net works

This is not a reproducible bug.
DataCase/Windows support is a duplicate feature enhancement request (#25).
