Greetings Fellow hackers,
I am intersted in corresponding with people regarding a port of
hack (1.0.3) to VMS. I am looking for people that have made the port.
I ported hack1.0.3 to VMS about a year ago. I started to work on
it but had to quit due to work and school. A friend and coworker of
mine took it from there and made all the necessary changes to get it
to work (99.9% of the work). We now have a working version that has a
few "minor" bugs that we have found. We have been testing it for
about 5 months now and are fairly certain that it will compile and
work consistently. We have talked about how to distribute this and
have not made a decission yet what is the best way. I do not like the
idea of posting it to the net due to it's size. Mostly I do not want
to spend half a month reading or receiving mail from people that did
not get one piece of it.
We are two busy to handle a high volume of tape requests. Also I am not
sure how the Department I work for would feel about me receiving and
sending out all of these tapes. If there is someone out there that would
be willing to act as a distribution site I would be willing to send them
a copy and direct all mail to them.
We would like to find a few select sites that would test hack for
us and notify us of any changes or problems. This is the version of hack
that has all of the original features and bugs nothing has been added.
A few things have been changed due to the conversion but none of the basic
logic.
This is what is needed VAX/VMS 4.2 (4.?? possibly will work) and the
VAX-C2.1. For this implementation we used curses as supported by VMS.
You may contact either one of us by replying to ...!purdue!jmoore
or purdue!grover. I may also be reached via Arpa I beleive it is now
jmoore@pur-ee.gb.edu (I think this is correct). Sorry I cannot be more
specific on the address I don't do this often. You may not receive any
responce until after May 9th. Both of us will be graduating in May and
have many things to do to finish up. In case neither of the above will
work then mail me something at the address below or I may be reached at
