This episode traces the open release of Zork’s original sources and the tech that made it enduring: the Z-machine, the ZIL language, and the write-once, run-anywhere philosophy long before Java. We explore how ZILF compiles to Z-machine bytecode, how Frost lets modern systems run it, and why preservation partnerships and the MIT license matter for historians and developers alike.
