= Dorothy

Dorothy is a z-machine interpreter library.  It's core is C (taken in part from

Frotz), the interface is Ruby.  Ideally this project forms the basis for

writing interpreters and other tools.

The two most critical references for this are:

  * The Z-Machine Standards Document 

  * Frotz's source code 

= Demo

There is a demo webapp that uses Dorothy at iFrotz .

= Testing

You'll need the Inform 6 to compile the test programs .

= Sample IRB Session
