+ztools (tools for use with Infocom and other Z-Code story files)
+
+infodump - data file dumper for infocom format game files
+pix2gif - converts infocom MG1/EG1 picture files to separate GIF files
+txd - Z code disassembler for Infocom game files
+zcheck - integrity checker for infocom format story files
+zcut - extract Infocom story files from disk images
+zdebugtool - sneak into the depths of INFOCOM adventures
+zrename - rename z-code story files according to their z-machine version
+
+zcheck and zdebugtool have been renamed, as "check" and "debugtool" are
+very generic names, likely to conflict with some other package.
+
+zcut, zdebugtool, and zrename are normally distributed separately. They're
+included in this build because they're too small to justify separate
+builds, yet too useful for a Z-Code developer to do without.
