Maybe this is an absolutely outrageous request -- and if so, I apologize.

But I'm wondering: would someone be interested in using one of those
Infcom decoders that strip out the nouns and verbs from the games -- and
then, perhaps, post these nouns/verbs? 

I ask this because (a) I have a Mac and can't find a program for the
Mac that does this and (b) out of sheer, unabashed curiosity. I'm not
stuck, don't need the nouns and verbs for a hints, but am instead 
curious about the sort of vocabulary a run of the mill Infocom game has -- such
as, say, Zork II or Sorcerer or Starcross.

As I say, maybe this is a stupid thing to ask. I dunno. Anybody who can
run one those decoders on their machine interested in doing this?


Thanks,
Chris
