Where to? dialog on boot, for some reason calling the player "Mac"

Originally one can export the files 98.scr and 98.hep from the game or from here and place them in the game's folder to achieve a WhereTo? dialog at boot, but all other debug functionality was broken - no other function other than the initial teleport exists. While the initial teleport itself usually works, most actions and walking to other rooms result in a game crash.

Fortunately, a SCI fan forum fixed it to restore the original debug plus a fan made instant movement/placement action. To use it one can export the files from here and place them in the game's folder.

Note a room list can be seen in sluicebox' archive's game's notes.
