Frotz - interactive fiction for RISC OS

I got the source code to the RISC OS version of Frotz from the Musus Umbra (and many thanks for digging around to find it!) and did a quick rebuild with an up to date compiler.

The result is !Frotz, reborn, working happily on a Pi2. :-)

(if you’re copying to download it on something else, that’s pi-one)

You can find plenty of games at https://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXzcode.html
Games must be Z-code, usually indicated by the file extension being a version number, like .z5 or .z8 (the two most common). Settype them to &11A (or “Z-Code”) to run them.

Have fun.

Excellent work Rick!

Looking forward to trying this out tonight!
