Downloaded Gargoyle - How to run a z file in Gargoyle?

I remembered using Gargoyle in the past. My z code games, Windows 11, are now automatically linked to WinFrotz (grumble, grumble, Windows 11 file associations).

I am finding (older eyes) it uncomfortable to read white (that small?) text on a blue screen. I prefer bigger black letters on a White screen.

So gargoyle has all these plugs in but I do not know how to run a z code game in it. Do people assume we know what to do? Why?

Is it a command line exe start, like through Dos, gargoyle name.z file? Why is there not a text file in the zip that tells you how to use it with Tads, etc? Maybe I am just dumb or something but found no information on the web site or in the zip file how to do this. I might want to use to play tads game too, ya’ know. :smirk:

You should be able to right-click your Z5 or T3 or such file and choose “Open With” > “Gargoyle”, I believe.

You can change the font size and the colours in Windows Frotz from the options dialog. Just a suggestion!

Thanks.

I vaguely remember that. Thanks.
