[comp.sources.wanted] Adventure shell

cs1541ad@hydra.unm.edu.unm.edu (TEAM E ) (04/26/88)

Some time back, (about a year or so ago), I saw a posting *somewhere*
for UNIX (tm) called an Adventure Shell. It seemed to support most
of the C shell commands only with a lot more fun attached. Does
anybody know how I can get such said shell, or, if you have it,
could you please e-mail it to me? many thanks in advance to those
who may respond!!!

I would also be interested in any info about the Adventure Shell (if it
exists)...

A friend of mine who is not currently on the net wrote one of these
several years ago.  I don't know if this is the one you were looking
for but I'll talk to him.

His was a set of aliases for csh that randomly placed "monster" files
and "treasure" files in your directories for you to "fight" and
"steal".  Things like "north", "down", "take", "put", "examine", etc.
became valid with rather obvious meanings.

I actually thought the idea of picking up files, carrying them around,
and putting them down in a different directory was a pretty useful
concept.
