Notice something missing? There’s no IFILE line (“include file”) for crufty.zil.
The I-LANTERN routine is definitely part of the game file. So we know the compiler read crufty.zil in. But it’s not obvious how.
Furthermore, when I analyzed the game file, I found that functions were not generated in the order of the IFILE lines here. (In Zork 1, functions were generated in IFILE order.)
My best guess is that the zork2.zil file was rewritten after July 26 1984, but the game was never recompiled.
