I have this problem: whenever I come to the place with a 'platinum bar' the program sort of dies. Anything I type is echoed in uppercase, the '>' prompt isn't given, and only EOF (^D) exits zork. Since I don't know much about zork, I don't know exactly how to avoid this place and sometimes end up there by mistake, which ends the game for me. I'm like any suggestions. Thanks a lot, Andrew Royappa {ucbvax,decvax,harpo}!pur-ee!purdue!avr avr@purdue (ARPA) p.s that's "I'd like any suggestions .."
