The only version available from Radio Shack is Zork I. The Model I version is not listed in the catalog anymore, but it used to exist. The Model III version is listed as 26-1951 and the Model I version was 26-1950. With that number you should be able to scare up a copy. Failing that, you can contact Infocom, the people who bought the rights from the real developers at MIT. I recall seeing an ad a few years back boasting that they had all three pieces of Zork ported to TRS-80 systems and that they were the only place you could get Zork II and III. (For people familiar with the MDL (muddle) version, it was so large they chopped it up into three chunks and simplified the mazes and such.) If you are a Model 4 owner, you can hack the Model III version to run in Model 4 mode with just a few hours of work. I recommend a good file editor for the task. I used LSFEDII which is available from Logical Systems. Likewise, the Model III version should be modifiable to run on a Model I with even less work. To get the files onto a Model I/4 disk from a TRSDOS 1.3 system disk, you will need a liberal copy utility, like the one in NEWDOS. "Thank you, Uh Clem." Frank Durda IV @
