It is certainly an option to discuss the Z-machine here, but there
are two reasons why I prefer a mailing list:
(1) There are probably only about 10-15 people interested in the
Z-machine internals; mainly authors of interpreters, compilers, and
other tools.
(2) The questions discussed are very specific. For example: What
should the positions of the windows and their cursor positions of the
V6 Z-machine be after a screen resize? Or: What is should the effect
be of two consecutive Z-characters 5 in a Z-string? Or: Is colour
number -1 ever used in Infocom games?
For these reasons I thought it best not to bother the 'general public'
with these issues, but use the light-weight mailing list device.

Still hoping some generous LISTSERV or Majordomo (or some such)
administrator agrees with me,
