+! Robot Finds Kitten
+! A Zen Simulation
+! Release 1 / Serial number 021123 / Inform v6.21
+!
+!     [-]       |\_/|        http://www.robotfindskitten.org
+!     (+)={     |o o|__      Leonard Richardson (C) 1997, 2000
+!     | |       --*--__\     David Griffith (C) 2002  (Inform Edition)
+!     OOO       C_C(___)
+!
+!
+! This Zen simulation is based on the C version v1600003.248b
+! by Leonard Richardson (C) 1997, 2000.
+! Written originally for the Nerth Pork robotfindskitten contest.
+! Reimplemented in Inform by David Griffith (C) 2002.
+!
+! Lots more information on Robot Finds Kitten is available at
+! http://www.robotfindskitten.org.
+!
+!
+! In this game, you are Robot (#).  Your job is to find Kitten.  This
+! task is complicated by the existance of various things which are not
+! kitten.  Robot must touch items to determine if they are Kitten or
+! not.  Move Robot with the cursor keys, the numeric keypad, or
+! using the vi/rogue movement keys. The game ends when Robot finds
+! Kitten.  Alternatively, you may end the game by hitting the Esc or Q
+! keys.
+!
+! Developed with Inform 6.21 as installed from NetBSD's pkgsrc tree.
+!
+! Compile it with:
+!	inform "-~S" kitten.inf  <-- Assuming Unix
+!
+! Notes:
+!	1) More than half of the code is taken up by non-kitten
+!	messages.  When I compiled the code with just five messages and  
+!	no debugging code, the resulting binary was only 9728 bytes.
+!	With all 280+ messages, it's 20992 bytes.
+!
+!	2) If it wasn't already abundantly obvious, this program won't
+!	compile to Glulx because of copious use of Z-machine assembly
+!	instructions.
+!
+!
+! Still to do:
+!
+! Implement colors (is it really necessary?)
+!
+! Is there some way I can hide the cursor completely?
+! I want to do this and manually set Robot to be in reverse type rather
+! than relying on the cursor to look like that.  Ahah!  "@set_cursor -1
+! turns the cursor off, "@set_cursor -2" turns it back on.  Hmm.  This
+! doesn't seem to work.
+!
+! It seems every now and then the kitten doesn't gets placed somewhere
+! where the robot can't get to it.  Under a non-kitten?
+!
+! already_seen_msg in get_random_msg() still doesn't work correctly!
+! Probably the already_seen_xy() thing doesn't work either.
+
+

+Known bugs:^

+1) In get_random_msg(), already_seen_msg isn't being checked correctly

+Not sure why not.^
+^
+2) already_seen_xy() probably has problems similar to item 1 above which
+might explain why the kitten occasionally gets placed somewhere where
+the robot can't get to it.
+^
+3) Under Windows Frotz, the Robot appears as a solid block.  This is a
+bug in Windows Frotz which incorrectly makes the cursor opaque.^
+^
+4) Under Windows Frotz, an annoying [MORE] prompt appears when the game
+is started.  This is another bug in Windows Frotz which believes
+Windows' suggestion to use 20 lines rather than 24 or 25.^

+A Final Thought.^
+^
+Day and night I feverishly worked upon the machine, creating both a soul
+which could desire its goal, and a body with which it could realize it.
+Many who saw my creation called it an abomination, and denied me grant
+money. But they could not dissuade me from my impossible task. It was a
+spectre that tormented me always, a ghost I had to give a form and a
+life, lest it consume me from the inside. And when at last my task was
+done, when the grey box on wheels was complete and when it, as well as
+I, knew what had to be done, I felt deep sympathy for the machine. For I
+had not destroyed the phantom, but merely exorcized it into another
+body. The robot knew not why this task had to be performed, for I could
+not imbue it with knowledge I did not myself posess. And at the same
+time, I felt a sweeping sense of relief sweep over me, that somehow, the
+dream that had driven me for my entire life had come one step closer to
+fruition.^
+^
+~Gort, Klaatu Verada Nikto~^
+^
+As I vocally activated the robot, I realized that it was following my
+instructions, but not out of any desire to obey me. Had I remained
+silent, it would have performed exactly the same operations. We were two
+beings controlled by the same force now. And yet, seeking vainly to hold
+some illusion of control over the machine I thought I had created, I
+gave my final command.^
+^
+~GO!~  I told the box as it began to roll out of my workshop into the
+frozen desert beyond. ~FIND KITTEN!~^
