After doing some research I found 2 games: one called "dnd" and the other called "Fallthru", both are not "Dungeons and Dragons" licenced games but seem to be amazing RPG interactive text games. That's a real pity that dev. like Strategic Simulations, Inc did not think about making such games using the Dungeons and Dragons licence...

Well, it's not like the D&D license is free to use. Hasro owns the right to it, and you'd have to convince them to support you, and likely pay them quite a large amount of money to use the D&D license.
Small developers just can't afford that I'm afraid, so they typically have to use more open systems like D20.

441635: Thanks Telika and brianhutchison.

The copy of Zork I found was with the some files and I just had to drag one of them toward the "DosBox" icon on my desktop to play to it. I'll download Frotz in case I find such games that require it. Thank you.
It's not that some games need these interpreters - it is that these intepreters make playing more fun. Its not cheats or anything like that - it is things like being able to play in a window, change the fonts, colours, and load and save games through menus etc.
