Interpreter:

zip - This interpreter will run all Infocom V1 to V5 games. It includes
      support for timeouts in Border Zone, screen displays in Beyond Zork
      and implements the #record debugging function, etc.

    usage: zip [options] story-file-name

        options are:

            -l n - number of lines in display
            -c n - number of columns in display
            -r n - right margin (default = 0)
            -t n - top margin (default = 0)

        The lines and columns options are only useful if the I/O driver
        cannot automatically work out the size of the screen.
