I must say, serious props to Robert Szacki for releasing an AdvSys game!
Everyone should know that Gargoyle will play it, so it’s certainly not Windows-only. I’m playing it on FreeBSD.

Thanks for that info. I look normally forward the extensions of files to know if a game will run under an interpreter. As this file is *.dat extension I missed it.

It starts up fine in Spatterlight for macOS, as well. (Spatterlight works way better than Gargoyle on macOS devices with HiDPI screens.)

I can’t figure out what I think is the last puzzle.
I’m back at the flower with a bottle full of water. Time to water the flower, right? But none of these work:
water flower
pour bottle
empty bottle
give water
drop water
put water
Is there a verb/noun combo I just didn’t guess?
It’s also a bit suspicious that the medicine book says “Nothing special” when I x book and that the game doesn’t have a read verb. 
It’s POUR FLOWER.

I would have missed that. Too much guess the verb for me.
For those who are unfamiliar with AdvSys, it is an object-oriented, LISP-like authoring system created by David Betz in 1987.
