Glulx adventures can also make use of [url=http://www.eblong.com/zarf/glk/index.htmlGlk[/url] resources (graphics and sounds), and they will only run on VMs that recognize 32-bit & Glk files. .blb (Blorb) files can contain the game and Glk resources all-in-one file. Most VMs also allow the files to be zipped (.zip) or tarball zipped (.tar.z).
