Z-Machine edition.
Download here. This is the recommended version. It is a Z-Code v5 file, and can be played on just about any platform by using a Z-Machine interpreter. I recommend Windows Frotz for Windows or Zoom for Mac OS X.

DOS executable.
Download here. Created with Jzip and Jzexe, this will run on DOS and most Windows systems. You may need to run it in compatbility mode in Windows XP, but I wouldn't know. (Tested on dosbox but not on a real one.)

Online edition.
Play here. To try the game out, you can play it online. Uses Matthew Russotto's ZPlet and requires Java.

Glulx edition.
Download here. Included more for completeness than anything else, this uses the Glulx virtual machine and can be played using one of these.

Source.
Download here. For those of a more curious bent, this is the source code. Runs on Inform 6.30 Library 6/10(bp).
