I've been enjoying some of the old Scott Adams & Infocom games on Frotz, but is there any way to add them other than one. file. at. a. time? Any idea if the developers are looking at normal iTunes file transfer support?

Nostalgic moment: I played my first IF game on my Radio Shack Color Computer (!) in 1981. When I completed it, the author's mailing address was displayed so I contacted him. And then I got a surprise call from him one day and we chatted about the game for a bit. That was bizarre...seriously interactive fiction!

He was the one who first turned me on to Scott Adams' games.

Eventually I played (what I now know must have been Roger Schrag's ports of) Scott Adams' "Pirate Adventure" and "Adventureland" on the CoCo too, then later the Infocom series on the Apple ][+.
