While preparing a disclaimer/trademark notice for the FAQ, I noticed
the following item in the fine print of the Fall 1988 _Status Line_:

"A Mind Forever Voyaging, Ballyhoo, Cornerstone [...several deleted...]
The Lurking Horror, The Tomb of Setmoth and Wishbringer are trademarks
of Infocom, Inc.  All rights reserved."

All of the items in the list EXCEPT _The Tomb of Setmoth_ were known
and published products of Infocom.  The previous issue of TSL did not
include _The Tomb of Setmoth_ among Infocom's trademarks.

I've never heard of _The Tomb of Setmoth_ before, and there was no
information in either of the last two issues of _The Status Line_ about
a game by this name.  It would appear to be the second game in the "H"
(horror) series, from the title.

Does anyone have any idea what this game was and/or its status at the
time of Infocom's dissolution?
