InfoZip was the name of the commercial version of Bryan Scattergood's application for the Psion series of Palmtops for playing Infocom/Z-code games, distributed by Interdata Developments, a division of Lacegem Ltd. (The same application was also distributed as shareware, not under the InfoZip name.)

The 1994 manual states it was for "the Series 3, Series 3a and Acorn Pocketbook" and the Interdata Developments' website states it was for "the Psion Series 3, 3a, 3c and 3mx".

The 1994 manual states:

These applications use information on the Infocom game format uncovered over a period of many years by many other people including Mark Howell, Graham Nelson and the InfoTaskForce. The interpreter is derived from the 4.01 release of the InfoTaskForce portable interpreter, although many sections have been rewritten and additions have been made to support the Psion environment.

The Interdata Developments page states:

The Infozip Interpreter for the Psion Series 3, 3a, 3c and 3mx.

Infozip allows you to play any of the Infocom games (except Journey, Arthur and Zork Zero which are graphics based) on the Psion Series 3 range of handheld computers.

Infostat displays the word count, vocabulary and object tree (similar to the Dos based Infodump) on your Series 3.
