Uploaded files which contain programs specifically to aid in the creation of ZZT and related files or sometimes just miscellaneous items as a legacy thing from the z2 days. Keep in mind that many utilities are quite old and are designed to be ran on systems that support MS-DOS programs. For utilities that are ZZT files rather than programs, check out the genre tags Help, Toolkit, and Utility. Yes I realize how stupid that last sentence is.

Program Description
This program randomly generates ZZT music in .ZZM files. It actually sounds decent sometimes. This is useful if you're not proficient with making ZZT music and wanna try something random. Still, I find writing #PLAY WEARESKPPTYSOFTWEAREUNITEDWITHOUT 7COLORTOOLKIT!!! in the editor a lot more fun...
