Yep. One and the same.

Dunno about that, but Illiad started a storyline at the South Pole,
made some contacts, and things grew from there. There are several
of us here following the story to see where it ends up. I'm also
a hardware geek, so today's references to soldering irons, etc.,
are most apropos.
(and another locale-related I-F tie-in is my Inform tutorial "Alone
on the Ice", which can be found as ALONE.INF somewhere on the 'net
(used to be part of the "Inform for New Writers" tutorial set)).

ObZDungeon comment: had a couple of minor bug reports with ZDungeon
Release 13. The Thief is still a bit pesky when it comes to stealing
treasures. The problem is related to MDL/Inform differences in
approaches to score tallying. Working on an elegant solution.
