[long and debatably interesting discussion on how Infocom interpreters scroll

...you may want to try a different free interpreter.  On the if-archive
(ftp to ftp.gmd.de, or use one of the mirrors [like wuarchive.wustl.edu]),
there are a few more than just the InfoTaskForce one (which I find a bit
slow, anyways).  Try ZIP.  It works for almost anything I've tried it with,
and seems to scroll the screen without blinking the status line.

The entire binary comes to 35K or so, so I can e-mail it to someone without
ftp access.
