I just downloaded WinFrotz2002 v1.03 from ifarchive.
I compiled the following with Inform 6.21:
[ Main;
    print "Output Stream 1 only^";
    @output_stream 2;
    print "1 and 2^";
    @output_stream -2;
    print "Just 1 again^";
    @output_stream 2;
    print "1 and 2 again^";
    @output_stream -2;
    print "Just 1 finally^";
    @quit;
];

When I frotz a.z5, I am asked twice for a filename. 

Possibly another bug: if I say "yes, I want to replace a.scr" the
second time, it does NOT delete and replace a.src. Rather, it just
writes "1 and 2 again" after "1 and 2".
