On my USB drive, I have Portable Firefox, Portable Open Office,
Portable Audacity and a host of other portable apps.  (At work, I use
an average of five different computers per day, so portable apps are
essential to me.)

I'm wondering--has anyone created a portable, USB-drive-friendly
intepreter for playing z-code, TADS and other IF games?

Most terps are already portable stuff. I've copied Gargoyle, Windows
Frotz and Glulxe (along with all my Inform6 developement stuff, which is
more or less the InformPack) on my usb pen with no problem (apart from
file association, which I seldom use).
IfPen is a good solution too, but probably you should update the terps.

bye

This has already been mentioned, I think, but Gargoyle plays almost
everything and is self-contained to work exactly like you need.
