[net.sources.games] Getting Windows

(Much as I hate to do this, I've got to post this to the wrong
newsgroup, so as to reach the right people.)

I've received an astounding number of messages of the form "how
can I get the Maryland Window Library" (to run the two adventures
I posted).  Well, if you are one of the fortunate DARPA Internet
sites, you can use anonymous FTP to maryland.ARPA to get the file
"mw.tar".  If not, you can try to get a copy from a neighbor UUCP
site that archives net.sources: I posted a 4.1BSD version of the
library around the end of 1983, I think.

I do not want to repost the entire source.  (mw.tar is 348K.)  If
you can't get it anywhere else, you can always order the University
of Maryland Software Distribution tape (for 4.1 or 4.2BSD).  Send
mail to
	Diane Miller
	Department of Computer Science
	University of Maryland
	College Park MD 20742
	USA
for details about the distribution tapes.

Please note that the Maryland Window Library cannot be used in
commercial software without making arrangements with the University
of Maryland.

Finally, I don't know of anyone who has converted the library to
System III or System V Unix.  Anyway, for this particular program
you could use Mark Horton's curses/terminfo (which hacks line I/D).
