WHICH version of empire? If you want the single-player version it was posted to the net several months ago. Check your archives. If you want a copy of the Peter Langston multi-player version Tom Fisher (...ihnp4!druxn!tsf) or I will be happy to give you a copy with the following provisions: 1. You send either of us e-mail asking for a copy. Please don't post to us here. You can get the additional information as to where to send the tape when you mail either of us. 2. Requests can/will ONLY be filled for those providing magnetic tapes (or floppy disks if you have no better alternative). Sorry, NO e-mail (UUCP, ARPA, BITNET, ...) as it is too big. It should be mentioned that this multi-player version does not include all the new features that people have mentioned in {rec||net}.games.empire, like nukes, tanks, APCs, trenches, and other stuff. If you are an empire purist who likes the game in its original form (prior the new features just mentioned) this is what you have been looking for. Dan Gold Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc.

[ Dan goes on to tell how to e-mail him to get uucp via diskettes or tape. ] I am posting this here (and cross-posting to rec.games.empire) as it appears that not everyone saw my original posting in net.sources.games. I apologize for those net.land.people who have already seen this. What follows is the article I posted about 2 weeks ago. Please note that in the period of time since my first posting, more than 50 sites have snarfed these sources. Several people sent e-mail to me saying they were successful in compiling empire on their <insert system model here> after slight tweeking of the Makefiles. This includes both BSD and ATT Un*x sites (as I recall). I have directed followups to net.sources.games as that is one of the newsgroups that I most frequently read. - paul === BEGIN ================= net/sources/games/201 ============================= [ 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 HoneyDanBer) 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 issue 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. - paul === END =================== net/sources/games/201 ============================= -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | paul@devon.UUCP - or - {seismo,ihnp4,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!devon!paul | | | +------<< I love work.
