:About;About ZZT...

     The concept of ZZT was inspired by
the recent movement toward object-oriented
programming.  ZZT is the first major game
to be based on this new programming
technology.

     The software was created with
Turbo Pascal 5.0, an excellent programming
tool from Borland International.


$Credits

     Many people have influenced ZZT over
its two-year development.  Some have
helped directly by programming and
creating game boards.  Others have
provided inspiration by laying the
foundations of the modern shareware
concept.

     Tim Sweeney,  a student at the
University of Maryland,  lead the
development of ZZT.

     Many thanks go to Scott Miller of
Apogee Software,  who showed the world
how entertaining character-based games
could be with his Kroz series of
adventures.

     The drum-like sound effects used in
ZZT were inspired by Ben Foster's PC-Beat
drum simulator.

     Andrew Saucci, Jr. deserves the
credit for uploading ZZT on CompuServe,
GEnie, Bix, Delphi, and other major
bulletin boards with his Megapost
service.

     And finally, thanks go to Jim Button,
Bob Wallace, Marshall Magee, and the many
others who helped pioneer the shareware
concept.
