I find the whole thing interesting, because I remember the shareware versions that I downloaded from my friendly neighborhood BBS offered the source code for a fee; a large fee, if memory serves. I wonder if any of the purchasers of said source code might still have it sitting around on their floppies somewhere.

None of the BBS releases for ZZT we found have such a statement; though I do think there exist some pieces of software which did.
Very interesting! I'll try to dig out my old floppies with the shareware version and see.
Thank you so much for what you did here! This is seriously awesome!
Edit: I haven't found the floppy yet, but as I think about it some more, I may be remembering Kroz (and not ZZT) as offering the source code for a fee...
