DOS for a friend of mine who is totally blind. If possible, please
post your message to this newsgroup. Also, please include any

There is a whole directory of text-based games at:
ftp.gmd.de
The directory begins with /if-archive
There are games, source code, programming tools (such as the Text
Adventure Developmeant System (TADS), and the Adventure Game Toolkit
(AGT)), hints and solutions for a bunch of the old Infocom games,
archives from rec.arts.int-fiction and rec.games.int-fiction, and some
other stuff.
(By the by, you can buy "The Lost Treasures Of Infocom" (Volumes 1 and 2)
at software stores for something like $50.
Here's the Index file from /int-fiction/games/pc, and
/int-fiction/games/pc/eamon:
(Bear in mind that there are also TADS directories, source directories,
C64, Emacs, Mac, and other stuff as well, but here's the stuff listed for
the PC:
