The *.z3 and *.z5 are already the compiled game files.
[The were compiled from *.inf files using the Inform compiler.]

What you need now is an interpreter for these story files.
Have a look at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/interpreters/
to find an interpreter that fits your computer system.

General information on how to play Infocom-compatible games can
be found in:

So long
