Thus spake What Illuminatus? (hades@u.washington.edu):
] Has anyone else tried playing Infocom's Bureaucracy using Mark Howell's
] excellent Zip interpreter?

] The form you must fill out at the beginning of the game has been giving me
] some problems. It displays correctly, but when I press return to go to the
] next field in the form, it just puts the cursor at the beginning of the
] next line, outside of the box, and doesn't move to the next field.

] Anyone else getting this problem? ITF's interpreter handles the form
] correctly, so I'm fairly sure it's not my datafile. I'll be putting Zip
] through a debugger soon, to try and narrow down which opcode(s) are being
] called to process the form.

Both the DOS and UNIX versions of ZIP that I use handle the form correctly.
Must be your machine.
