The Newbrain Forum

Hi, I'm new to the forum and the NB.  I'm running the latest NB Emu 2.62 and have worked out how to run it in CP/M mode.  I downloaded the ZORK package and put into a INFOCOM folder.  I set that as Drive A: and I start ZORK1.  It comes up with version number etc and then I'm "West of House.......There is a small mailbox here."
But when I answer "open mailbox" it then says on the next line "Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet." and the game them restarts !  If I type in "Quit" it should go through the motion of quitting and returning to the A: prompt, but instead it just re-starts the game again. F12 is the only way out.

Question, am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?   

I also put in the INFOCOM folder MINIZORK and when I run that, it runs fine as expected.  I then put a copy of my ZORK1.DAT file (a slightly bigger and later version) that I run on another CP/M emulator fine but it runs with the same re-starting problem.

Also, what terminal does the NB emulate, is it ADM3A ? I configured Catchum & Ladder to ADM3a and they seam to run correctly on the screen.

Cheers
