Probably. When I ran Weather under Infocom's Mac V5 interpreter (the
one from Border Zone off LTOI, to be precise), it zipped through the
@read_char 1 0 0 choice;
without pausing. But another test program that I ran actually crashed
the interpreter. (I haven't verified that it was that line that did
it, though.)

I noticed that, and I agree, unless there's some consideration I don't
understand. Which is likely.
