Yes, yes indeed! Check if-archive for the InfoTools archive for your
particular computer. It includes, amongst other handy utilties, something
called "txd" -- an Infocom story file dissasembler. This will pull a
story.data file apart into a sort of machine language dissassembly, with
every single string of text in the game included in it. That help you?
