Anchorhead v5

[Michael Gentry]

Winner of the 1998 XYZZY Award for Best Setting.

(*woo-hoo!* I'd like to thank Mom and my agent and especially Yog-Sothoth,
who makes all things possible through faith. And the fans. I couldn't have
done it without the fans.)

Anchorhead, release 5, is now available at
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/incoming/if-archive/anchor.z8. This version fixes the
scoring bug -- it is now possible to win all 100 points. Some very minor
bugs and typos have also been fixed, and the NPC responses have been touched
up in some minor but significant ways.

The game will eventually be moved to
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/zcode/anchor.z8. This will most likely be
the last version update for a while.

Um... I'm on day 3 of the v4 game. Are the changes small enough so
that my save files will still work on v5?

Any change whatsoever in a Z-machine game renders the save files
non-compatible. Sorry.

I got a message saying the librarian was pursing her fishy lips...heheh

Well... it's *still* going to be the last release for a long while.
