[Accessibility-testing] Linux Interpreters

[Austin Seraphin]

Running Frotz on our story gives:


Fatal error: Unknown Z-code version Blorb file loaded, but unable to
build map. u_setup.blorb_file ./A Night Below the Opera.blb
u_setup.blorb_name A Night Below the Opera.blb


Frotz version 2.4.4.

Do I need to download some additional data or something?

Yes, the AUR refers to the Arch User Repository.

https://aur.archlinux.org


I switched to Android a few months ago for my daily use so yes I do
think we should include an Android interpreter if it exists.
