prefsgames

    Frotz contains a list of all the released Infocom games, allowing it to
    recognise them for the startup list and to display information about them in
    the About requester. This panel allows Frotz to recognise new games, the
    information for which is stored in the file Infocom.games, which is kept in
    the same directory as Frotz. This is a text file, the format of which is
    given by the following example:

    [Theatre]			<- The name of the game, enclosed in [].
    Author=Brendon Wyber		<- The game's author, optional.
    1 / 950721			<- A list of the release and serial numbers
    2 / 951203 / $A9FD		   for each version of the game, and also
    				   the checksum (optional).

    In this panel, the list view on the left shows all the games found in the
    current Infocom.games file. Clicking on a game causes the name and author
    to appear in the string gadgets to the right. Below these gadgets are three
    buttons, with the following functions:

    Add

    Adds the game currently loaded to the Infocom.games file, by appending a
    string (in the format shown above) containing the release number, serial
    number and checksum to the entry for the currently selected list view. Thus,
    to add a new version of a game which already has an entry in the list view,
    select the game, then click on this button. A request will appear indicating
    the action that has been performed.

    New

    Adds a new game to the list view, using the game name and author in the
    string gadgets on the right of the panel, i.e. to add a new game, enter its
    name and author in the string gadgets, then click this button. This will
    write an entry in Infocom.games, e.g.:

    [Theatre]
    Author=Brendon Wyber

    The Add button must still be used to add the details of each version into
    Infocom.games.

    The easiest way to add a new game is to start Frotz with the game, enter the
    name and author in the string gadgets, select New, and then (since the new
    entry is automatically selected in the list view) select Add.

    Del

    Deletes the game selected in the list view, if any.

    Note that unlike the other panels, this panel does not contain any settings
    stored in Frotz.prefs. When any of the three buttons described above are
    selected, the changes are immediately written out to Infocom.games.
