Has anyone got a copy of Nathan Glasser's program suicide.c?
It was posted to net.suicide in early January 1983.

I don't think I've actually got a copy of my original posting, but I could probably reconstruct the program without too much difficulty. If someone actually still has a copy (I'd be pretty impressed by this), they can feel free to post it, otherwise I can probably get around to it. Probably a better place to post it now would be in comp.sources.games. -- Nathan Glasser fnord nathan@{mit-eddie.uucp, xx.lcs.mit.edu} "A tribble is the only love that money can buy."

I searched through a bunch of old tapes and I found suicide.c AND suicide1.c. I guess it pays to be a packrat. I am posting the sources to comp.sources.games, per Nathan's suggestion. They run on SysV, but have unresolved external references on ULTRIX. I probably modified them to run on SysV five years ago; I don't remember. It shouldn't be too difficult to get them to run under BSD. Is it time for alt.suicide yet? John Opalko Washington State Home for the Bizarre

I anyone does a rewrite, may I suggest hanging instead of jumping (with concomitant tumescence, if that is not too much of a strain on curses)?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, can I get a copy sent to me?

Variations include jumping from a tall building and jumping into the path of an oncoming car. They are written in C, using curses.
