Bocfel is an interpreter for the Z-machine, which means that it plays text
adventure games. For more information on the Z-machine and interpreters, please
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine.

For building instructions, please consult the BUILDING file.

If you are poking around the source code, you might notice a lot of identifiers
containing "zterp". When I first started this project, I put it in my
Subversion repository, but I wasn't sure it would ever go anywhere. I quickly
picked a rather generic name--zterp--because a name was needed for the
repository path. It turns out, however, that long ago somebody released a
Z-machine interpreter called zterp, so I had to find something new. By the time
I realized this, however, the name "zterp" had become entrenched in the source.
I've changed all user-visible uses of "zterp" to "bocfel", but have kept the old
identifiers in the source.
