I have been playing Zork on my Mac and there seem to be quite a
few differences between the version on Mac and the Unix Zork.  Is
anyone else familiar with a different version of Zork?

It is interesting because most of the rooms are connected the same
but require a different direction (Cellar to Troll room direction
west on one and south on the other).  I CANNOT find the Bank on the
Mac version (no it is not west of the Gallery, the Chasm is) which
I once was able to find.  I'm not sure the volcano exists (I can't
find it).  However, the Mine, Mazes, Forests, River & Dam areas
appear to be generally intact.  From the Round Room I go south twice
to hit the Mirror Room (bypassing the Grail Room).  Anybody else
out there familiar with this other version.  Rumor has it that one
is Unix based and the other is DEC based.

Comments, suggestions, flames, etc appreciated.
