#Aug. 98

It works now with (at the ones I have tested):

Mac ZIP infinity 1.4b2 by Matthew T. Russotto
DOS Frotz by Stefan Jokisch but NOT WinFrotz!

There seems to be a consent that DOS-ASCII serves as a Z-code-standard.
Force lower case is done by the input-routines of the z-code-interpreter.

The conversion table:


Literal:	Mac ZIP Inf. 1.3	DOS & ZIP infinity 1.4
---------------------------------------------------

@sz: 	167		161

@:a: 	138		155
@:o: 	154		156
@:u: 	159		157

         ^ not supported

ZIP infinity for Macintosh uses the DOS-table for V1.4 and the Mac-Table
for V1.3. I only implemented the DOS-table for the reason of simplicity.

#Aug. 98

German.h:	
-44: Compass directions had no deklination and gender -> fixed.
(thanks to Bernd Roehling)
-969: Lookunder: "...nichts Interessantes." (upper cased)
-962: Examine: new formulation "mit Hilfe dessen man..."
-999: Unlock: 4: "...Gitterauf" -> "...Gitter auf"
-985: Search: 7: WriteListFrom ISARE_BIT removed
-941: Look: 4: "^auf" -> "^Auf" (upper cased)
-1035: "Open: 4: "du" -> "Du" (upper cased)


#Sep. 98

TGerman.h:
-155:	space moved to PrintAdjectives line 734
-> changes at several places for correctins the spaces,
-> could omit ta_providesadj
-234: proper-property prints no definite article now

For the following thanks to Max Kalus:

German.h
-Parsing suffix "es" added

Verblibm.h
-WriteListR: (it is really a headache)
 There are two places in the code of VERBLIBM.H which look as follows:
 (Lines 256 and 336)
      if (sizes_p->i == 1)
      {   if (c_style & NOARTICLE_BIT ~= 0) print (name) j;
          else
          {   if (j has proper) print (_er) j; else
     if (c_style & DEFART_BIT ~= 0) print (den) j; else print (einen) j;
          }
      }
 Max Kalus has added the if (j has proper) statement which handles
 the article as it should be in German.

GermanG.h
-Changed many library verbs, so I don't list them all here.
Thanks again to Max Kalus.
