I agree. I have a couple ideas as well.

One thought was the possibility of adding text strings as a resource into
Blorb besides sounds, images, etc. This coupled with a new opcode or opcodes
to print this text could free up z-machine memory otherwise taken up by text
strings. A game could contain virtually unlimited amounts of text. I haven't
investigated this in any depth, but does anyone think this might be useful?
