On Melinda Varian's web page you can also find "ZORK VMARC".

VM/CE does support VMARC.? So, you can use VMARC UNPK to "unpack" the files in the VMARC archive file,

You only need to issue:
?
? ?VMARC UNPK ZORK * A ZORK VMARC A??
?
to extract the executable MODULE and EXEC and the components it needs (the ZORK TEXTDATA and INDEX) to run it.
?
You do not need to unpack all of the FORTRAN source files or corresponding TEXT files, unless you intend to study the source code or attempt to modify it
?
Note: you may need to sign-on to VM/CE as CMSUSER or create a new userID with a sufficiently large minidisk to contain the ZORK VMARC file and extract its contents.

Hope that helps.

All the best,
