[ No, this article does not contain Empire sources. Sorry.
It does, however, tell you how you can *get* them via uucp! ]
Back in early February, several people requested the source code to
Empire. I responded to each of them saying that I had Empire sources,
but that I would NOT mail them. Also, I will not post them because of
their size--550K+ including the Empire_Manual which is 104K by itself.
What I *will* do (and have done) is make them available via anonymous
uucp from my site. The sources are contained in 9 shar files. These
files have been compressed with the popular "compress" program using
its 12-bit option.
Here's what we're talking about. Someone had mentioned that they had a
part Fortran, part C version. This version is completely written in C.
However, I don't know if it will compile cleanly. I have never
attempted to compile Empire here (who has time for games?).
The vers.c files says:
Version 1.1 Old Empire
Oct 1985
(decompiled 1983 from PDP 11/70 object)
An "ls -l" of the files:
total 523
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 34688 Mar 22 10:22 Part01.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 27878 Mar 22 10:17 Part02.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 35225 Mar 22 10:16 Part03.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 30386 Mar 22 10:16 Part04.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 25580 Mar 22 10:16 Part05.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 27718 Mar 22 10:15 Part06.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 9518 Mar 22 10:15 Part07.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 51911 Mar 22 10:15 Part08.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 empire uucp 18329 Mar 22 10:15 Part09.Z
To obtain these files, you must first place an entry similar to the
one below into your L.sys (or Systems under HoneyDanBaer) file:
empire Any ACU <baudrate> 1-215-398-7543 ogin:-BREAK-ogin:-BREAK-ogin: empire word: anonymous
where <baudrate> is any of 300, 1200 or 2400.
Then issure the appropriate uucp command to get them. For example:
uucp empire!~/Part01.Z /usr/spool/uucppublic
would retrieve the Part01.Z file into your uucppublic directory. Note
that trying something like "empire!~/Part*" (or any other wildcard
combination) probably will *not* work. To get all nine files will
require that you issue 9 different commands similar to the one above.
If you have any difficulties, contact me via e-mail (address in my
.signature below).
Happy UUCP'ing.
