I never found an Infocom game (and I've played a lot of them -- not finished
many, but played a lot) that couldn't be "freed" from its copyprotection by
StuffIt.  Just stuff the game, then unstuff it on your hard drive, or a back
up disk.  Some of them then allow themselves to be copied freely, and all of 
them (again, well over a dozen of the games) saved games perfectly to an 
HFS hard drive.

Also, I've never had any trouble with any of the Infocoms crashing on an
SE.

Please note:  Even though these games are no longer published, I am NOT 
condoning pirating them.  Even if you are now able to copy the software, 
virtually all of the games have "soft" copy protection as well, meaning 
if you don't have something that was in the package, the game is impossible
to play/win.  So don't do it.
