Not quite.  When I mentioned that the characters were "not too much
different from 'Magical Taru-ruuto-kun'" I didn't mean to imply that
there were direct parallels, in character or story.  None of the
characters here are similar to Iyona-chan - but the main female
character is more like Honmaru's teacher:  sweet when she's in a good
mood, but cruel and ruthless when she's not.  (In this story, for the
most part, she's in a bad mood.)  The main character himself, Kintarou,
has a lot of Haruko and Honmaru's personalities about him, but is a
lot more engaging and sympathetic (IMHO).  There's plenty of the usual
Egawa gags thrown in, too, but it's still somewhat different from what
seems to be his usual stuff.  As it just appeared recently, I rather
doubt that it is in any present Egawa compilation volumes.

As a side question:  What else has Egawa done?  I know of one other
feature that he was doing besides Taru-ruuto, but I could not determine
the proper title from the Chinese titles that were all I had to go on.
It had to do with this strange block-headed (literally) character...

	I was playing an Apple II Zork II which crashed whenever you tried to

How many interactive-fiction generating programs, ones that allow you to

others which aren't worthy of much note.

I was thinking of doing one whose main structure is based on LISP; I 
thought that would be an interesting deviation from the norm.

Any comments, suggestions?

There already is one LISP-like adventure language, called ADVSYS. It's
object oriented, as well, and I liked it quite a lot. Unfortunately,
the atuhor seems to have left off development a little too early -
IMHO it's not quite powerful enough to write professional-looking
adventures. 

You can find the source code to ADVSYS in the comp.sources.games
archives, I think. It was also described in BYTE a few years ago (in
1987, I think).

Subject: Infocom ZIL and Z-code help needed


    Howdy all,

    I didn't know that this group existed, but since it does, it seems
to be the perfect place for me to pose a few questions.  Since this
group doesn't seem to receive a lot of traffic, I'll read
rec.arts.int-fiction for a while so feel free to either post responses
here or respond to me directly by email.

    I'm looking for information on ZIL (Zork Inplementation Language).
For the unitiated, this is the language in which Infocom interactive
fiction games were originally written.  However, this laguage was the
compiled into Z-code to be interpreted by a loader on each platform. 
Actually what I would like is a ZIL compiler.  Does one exist (aside
from the one sitting on a dusty reel of magnetic tape at whats left of
the Infocom division of Activision)?  Did anyone outside Infocom ever
try to write one?
    If a ZIL compiler is not currently available to the world outside
the remains of old Infocom, I'd like to write one.  However, to do this
I need to know two things.  The first is the structure of an Infocom
.dat file and its compiled instruction format.  I have already started
to extract this information from the publicly available Infocom game
players.  However, if structure and Z-code instruction set is already
documented somewhere, my job would be much easier (and less buggy :-)). 
Also, I need the ZIL language specifications.  As the .dat files only
contain Z-code, I will be entirely unable to reconstruct ZIL without
some assistance.  If someone has seen ZIL code or better yet still _has_
some ZIL, you could help me immeasurably.  If I am unable to find some
ZIL specifications, I will have to write my own interactive fiction
language (not a task I want to take on if I can avoid it).

    If anyone out there can help me, I'd be love to hear from you.  I
think that this project (if it can ever get off the ground) will provide
a whole new dimension in enjoyment that can be gained from interactive
fiction games.
I'd appreciate _any_ help that you could give me.


                            thanx,

 Not really a suggestion, but a year or so ago, I went to a party with
this woman I was quite eager to get to know better.  This dude, who was
totally hammered, was making the rounds of the little conversation 
groups in the kitchen just being generally obnoxious and annoying, he
finally got around to the two of us, and started immediately with the
pointing to my ear, and saying that musta hurt, my reply was to show
him something that hurt more.  He faded FAST.  Before it occurrd to me,
in retrospect I may have been pretty inebriated myself, I was zipping
back up then realized that I'd totally blown it with the trying to
seem like a sane and reasonably interesting person pick up routine.
She was pretty turned off.  But a year later and we're doing fine,
go figure.  I don't recommend exposing yourself in public, I've only
done it once, but it certainly made the guy shut up and leave.  I
bumped into the guy again about six momths later, and seing as the
relationship this the woman in question was going smoothly, I had to
ask him if he caught the expression on her face (I certainly hadn't),
bet he was still not at all into talking to me.  Don't blame him really.

In judo competition, it is illegal to wear any hard and/or metal object onto
the mat.  And it's probably not a good idea in the dojo, either.

Nipple piercing would seemingly be incompatible with judo; for the time it took
to heal enough that you could take your ring out for the duration of practice,
one can not practice/compete.  I wonder if there's a way around it.

For example:  Can a piercing be done such that the initial hole-filler is not
a piece of metal jewelry, but rather a piece of soft plastic or rubber, in the
form of a cord or piece of tubing, which could be crimped at the ends and taped
down to the breast, and covered over with gauze and either tape or Tegaderm?

What do you think?  Could this allow practice and/or competition, and proper
healing at the same time?  If it could not be done initially, could it be done
after the piercing was healed enough to change jewelry, but before it was ok
to leave it out for several hours at a time?

Also, how long does it normally take a nipple piercing to heal well enough for:
1. Changing jewelry, 2. Leaving the jewelry out for several hours, 3. 'safe as
regular skin' in terms of infection risk?  Could the above suggestion work, but
with a longer healing schedule?  If so, how much longer?

Last night, I met a woman who had a lovely cobweb cut into her shoulder. Except
this was different -- it was temporary. It had been done last weekend and she 
expected it to heal up in another week. She said this is the third one she's
had, and none of them have marked her permanently.

I'd love to learn how to do this. The only detail I got from her before she
had to wander off is that it was done with a scalpel. My guess is that it's
just not done as deeply as a "regular" cutting -- but how deep is too deep?
There was clearly scab present, so blood must be drawn -- it's more than
just scratching.

Can someone tell me more about how to do/learn this? Thanks.

This summer I up-gauged my PA from 12ga 5/8'' to 8ga 3/4'' and the healing
process for this jewelry change actually took longer than healing the
original hole.  Just one data point, of course, but fucking has just

If it's causing you that much difficulty, you might try abstaining for a 
while.. I can't imagine that removing the ring helps healing.

Well, I'm going to tell you what my grandmother did, when she
was cleaning house, or didn't want to wear her earrings in her
pierced ears for several days at a time.  She threaded a
needle with silk buttonhole thread, then waxed the thread by
pulling it across a cake of beeswax.  Then she got my aunt to
thread the needle through the holes in her ears, pulled the
thread through, and loosely knotted it, trimmed off the
excess.  I don't see why it wouldn't work with nipples.  

Of course, I would make sure the thread was clean, the beeswax
was pure, and wouldn't leave it in for weeks at a time.
Beeswax is nice stuff---reasonably aseptic, resistant to
fluids, and totally bio-compatible.  (Notice that this is
*silk* thread and *beeswax,* all natural components.  This may
make a difference.)

The point about having scar tissue (my apologies to those that have heard 
this before) is that, due to the reduced blood supply (less white blood 
cells etc) it is much (I think the current number is a factor on the order
of a thousand) more likely to get infected (a 'late' or 'deep' infection,
as opposed to the infection caused by the introduction of bacteria during
the piercing process itself).

My two cents (or 1.7 cents for all you Americans).

My husband has a design he wants done just inside his

not a big Blade Runner fan, would show he's a very
sophisticated replicant, not human at all).  The barcode has
the "Nexus 9" encoded in it.  

I know, I'm pretty liberal about tats, but this one I told him
I would disown him if he got it in black.  Black-light ink, I
okayed, but he hasn't checked on getting that, yet.  Maybe
it's because it's on his temple, where he wants it.  (I
wouldn't be upset if it was on an arm or something.)  And he
*really* wants this one.  I just don't want to spend the rest
of my life looking at bar codes all the time.  ;-)
