Subject: need hints for DEADLINE, the Zork-like murder mystery game

DEADLINE is an adventure-like game in which the player is a police
inspector attempting to solve a locked-door murder mystery.  It is
available for various personal computers, including TRS-80, Apple,
Atari, IBM PC, and generic CP/M-80 from Infocom, the folks who gave
us Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, and Starcross (all highly recommended).

I am unable to get very far with DEADLINE (I guess I'm not much of
a detective).  I have the hints published by the Zork User's Group,
which consist entirely of a map of known space, but this doesn't
help.  I would very much appreciate hints from any experienced
DEADLINE players.

Please respond via mail; we on the Usenet have been cut off from
INFO-CPM since mid-January.
