Hi,

I had just jailbroke my PW2, and my firmware is still on 5.6.5. After the installation, frotz crashed almost immediately and I managed to see that it failed because curses wasn't initialized. The other IF interpreters such as glulxe and gargoyle seemed to crash with the same error message.

I then tried to start frotz via kterm, and this time the error message was "Error opening terminal: xterm." I saw that Frotz is compatible with PW1, could you let me know whether it is compatible with PW2 too please?
