ZaxMidlet is a J2ME Midlet implementation of the Zax Z-Machine interpreter copyright(c) 2008 by William H. Johnson. It should work on any QWERTY device that supports MIDP2.0 and allows local file access, such as a blackberry. It has only been tested on a blackberry curve. It should play most Infocom and Inform games.
What works: V1-5,7,8 games, except beyond zork File save/recall
What does not work(yet): Command history. colors bold/italic typeface Unicode characters The code is currently a mess. It needs major refactoring and cleanup. Zax is not fully compliant to the 1.0 spec of the z-Machine, see ZAX_README.TXT
