Version 2.44
Unix Frotz and Dumb Frotz are tested and known to work well.  DOS Frotz
has been tested really on just DOSbox.  I posted to a few places asking
for people to test DOS Frotz on real hardware.  So far, only one person
replied.  The test machine was a 486DX4 running at 75 Mhz with 24M of
RAM and no sound card.  It crashes horrible after three but less than
ten moves.  Test game is LostPig.z8.  The computer's display was
photographed and sent to me.  I'll release this now and just accept that
the DOS port is bad for now.
