Well, I did the same but don't have problems with screen scrolling (or I
don't know what you are referring to). The
only problem I have is when exiting a game the line after the score is
overwritten by the Y/N prompt. I also had a problem with structure
alignments on the mac, and the game is only tested with zcode version 3
games.
The executable is available on our ftp-server
ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at
in
pub/apple/mac/InfoTaskForce.bin
I will put the sources there when I find time to do so (they are on my
powerbook at home).
