| PackageDescription | Kwest is a KDE interpreter for all Infocom games and other Z-machine games
based on Frotz V2.43. It tries to comply with standard 1.0 of Graham
Nelson's specification.
The KDE port was written by Peter Bienstman <Peter.Bienstman@UGent.be>,
based on code by David Griffith and others. (See AUTHORS file for more
details.)
Features of Kwest include:
- support for reading zblorb files and showing cover art and treaty of
Babel metadata.
- a fairly complete Z-machine interpreter, supporting color, styles
and timed input. Not yet supported are sound and V6 pictures.
- same input-editing facilities as Frotz: command history, tab completion
- fonts and colors are changeable on the fly through the GUI.
