Hey all, I have a question. If you want to run an IF game that was not made to be a door, as a door, such as an infocom game, how do you keep the users from saving their game in any arbitrary directory. For example how do you keep them from saving their game as c:\autoexec.bat or something? Is there a door program that is available to interpret these games? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
Heh, I was just thinking about doing this today. I discovered that an a game, "And Then You Come to a House Not Unlike the Previous One" actually uses my BBS and dialup number as an in-game plot point.
Maybe I'll do some digging if I get some free time.
