Ztools, the Infocom Toolkit by Mark Howell,
currently maintained by Matthew T. Russotto
Ztools contains the following tools:
check - checks story file integrity, same as $verify command. Wo
types except for V1, V2 and early V3 games which have no checksum
in the header. Optionally outputs a new story file of the correct
length.
infodump - dumps header, object list, grammar and dictionary of a g
story file. Works on all types. Grammar doesn't work for V6
games yet.
inforead - converts IBM bootable disks to story files. Only for IBM
requires Microsoft C or Borland C.
pix2gif - convert IBM MCGA/VGA (`*.MG1`) picture files from V6 gam
individual GIF files, viewable on most platforms.
txd - disassembles story files to Z code assembly language, pl
strings. Works on all games from V1 to V8. Also supports Inform
assembler syntax.
Current version: 7/3.1 (07nov98). Some of the executables below con
versions of Ztools which may not support all of the game files ment
