 Fizmo is a Z-Machine interpreter ("Fizmo Interprets Z-Machine Opcodes") which
 allows you to run Infocom- and most other Z-Machine based games, except
 version 6, on POSIX-like systems which provide a ncursesw library. Please
 note the trailing "w", indicating that wide-chrachter support is required.

 This distribution contains the following packages:
  - libfizmo, providing the interpreter core
  - libcellif, providing a translation for Z-Machine output into simple
    goto-xy and print-commands for fixed-width screens
  - libsndifsdl, supplying a SDL-based sound interface
  - libdrilbo, providing support for jpeg, png and infocom's mg1 image
    reading as well as X11-based output.
  - libglkif, which provides basic GLK bindings.
  - fizmo-ncursesw, a screen interface uses ncurses for display.
  - fizmo-console, a barebone screen interface.
  - fizmo-glktermw, an example GLK implmentation.

 Please see INSTALL.txt on how to bulid the packages.
