Which interpreter do you mean? The original, proprietary, genuine Infocom 
interpreter probably isn't available anywhere, but have a look at 
ftp.gmd.de:/if-archive/infocom/interpreters and take your pick from the one 
by the InfoTaskForce, pinfocom by Paul D. Smith, and ZIP (Zork Interpretive 
Program) by Mark Howell.
