Not what I thought this game was.

Playing some DOS text-adventures require an interpreter. In this case, frotz.exe. So, run the game like frotz.exe curses.z5

there's no curses.z5 in the zip - frotz is the interpreter for Infocom's zcode files. Anyway, rather than play in buttugly DOS format, you can always play it in the javascript zcode interpreter parchment:

which is good because as of now, all zcode games are simply not working here...
