Should perhaps use <SETG PRESERVE-SPACES? T>

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Here are some examples where ZILF has removed spaces from the text that should be there:

>INVENTORY
You take stock of your possessions.
  A financial nymph appears on your keyboard. "By the way, you can check the
amount of cash you're holding at any time with the CASH command. Or, just type a
$ followed by [RETURN]. Bye!"
 She disappears with a wink.

>DIAGNOSE
A medical nymph appears on your keyboard. "Please use the STATUS command to
monitor your health. Bye!"
 She disappears with a wink.

>EXAMINE WEED
A marketing nymph appears on your keyboard. "You'll find a drawing of the limp
weed in your _Beyond Zork_ package. Bye!"
 She disappears with a wink.

(I don't know if the "She disappears with a wink." messages are the only cases, but they're plentiful and easy to test.)

If I add <SETG PRESERVE-SPACES? T> to beyondzork.zil, it prints two spaces as expected, e.g.

>DIAGNOSE
A medical nymph appears on your keyboard. "Please use the STATUS command to
monitor your health. Bye!"
  She disappears with a wink.
