Message-ID: <474@reed.UUCP> Date: Sun, 5-Feb-84 04:04:34 EST Article-I.D.: reed.474 Posted: Sun Feb 5 04:04:34 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 10-Feb-84 06:13:50 EST Organization: Reed College, Portland OR Lines: 33 Sigh -- I have gotten a large number of highly interested replies to my query about zork/dungeon -- someone requested that I post a summary of what I've found out, so here goes -- The rumor is: Infocom sells its version of the zork epic (i.e. ZORK I, ZORK II) for any PDP-11 running RT-11... Price unknown -- for popular micros the two halves of dungeon are about $30 each... The DECUS library will sell you the source for zork -- $44 for magtape, $100 for RX-01 disk -- probably the source will compile on RT-11, RSX, RSTS, or VMS operating systems -- this is apparently DEC Fortran source code... And finally, a NUMBER of people have versions of source or object for various odd machines and or operating systems -- if you are one of these people, you might post a note here, explaining what you have -- it might make someone else VERY happy... Again, sorry I couldn't reply to each of you individually, but would SOMEONE please tell me how to post mail over the net to a known pathname using plain old 'mail'?!?... I don't think I'm doing it right, and it sure is undocumented here... And if someone has source code for dungeon/zork in FORTRAN77 or some other even more portable high-level language, maybe they could/should just post it to net.sources? Anyway, Happy Zorking...
