As you read the scroll, you become confused. Call it: a typical user guide. HELP! We have a FORTRAN implementation of *the* infamous adventure game that we are trying to port to a PC. My problem is this: various pieces of the code are missing! *sigh* If anybody within hailing distance has a copy of this, I'd much like to get in touch with you. Of course, if anybody wants to post the source to the net, I'm sure other people won't complain... :-) Thanks in advance!

It is called, simply, - "ADVENTURE". As near as I can tell, it is almost identical to the one we've run on VAX and RSTS systems which we acquired from DECUS. I don't think this program (sources) is in the public domain.

Look in Dr. Dobbs. I believe there was an ad where you could get the complete
source for something like $20. I don't have the magazine anymore, so please
don't ask me for details.

I think it is. Fortran sources were on the decus tape.
C sources were distributed with 4.2. If it isn't in public
domain, then somebody it's almost old enough to be in public
domain. :-). I think the sources came with a Burroughs 6700
that ran cards here at Davis, like fifteen years ago. I know
the sources for adventure were for the asking in 1973 or so.
(Yes, I have them. I'll distribute the Fortran version.
Anybody want to verify if C Adventure is in public domain?)

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing the FORTRAN source in an issue of Creative Computing, years ago. If your library has an index for the magazine, you could check for it there. In any case, I know I have seen it in print. -Peter Yee ..ucbvax!yee yee@ucbarpa.BERKELEY.EDU
