Three years ago, members of my group got hooked on the rogue-like game MORIA on a VAX/VMS 11/750. Now that we haved moved to our own MicroVAX II/VMS 4.4, I would like to obtain the latest version of this game. Does anybody know the origin/distributor/status/whereabouts of code for this game? Thanks for any leads... Steve Piper gr65%sdcc12@SDCSVAX.ARPA

Thanks for any leads... Has any work been done to convert this game to Unix? If not, I would like to know if the source (Pascal I understand) is available. I would like to examine it for a possible port to C/Unix. -- Mark VandeWettering University of Oregon Computer and Information Sciences Department markv@uoregon.edu OR markv@uoregon.uucp

Does anybody know the origin/distributor/status/whereabouts At Rutgers we have a copy of version 4.5 of moria. If this is the newest version of moria then we have it... if it is not ... please let me know where a newer version. The sources are written in Vax Pascal and any port to unix(tm) would be a *major* undertaking.

I believe the current version of moria is up to 4.9. This version only has bug fixes and minor enhancements (and of course it is harder to win). The game originated at the University of Oklahoma - University Computing Services. It is still being enhanced here. The author, Robert Koenoke, has gone to work at an airline company, but plans to port a version to the PC. I personally have been working on changing the ~22000 lines of VMS (very non standard) pascal into C, but only have about ~7000 lines done.... Maybe one of these years it will work under Unix (it would be nice not to have to log into their machine to play it). I will forward mail to the people at University Computing Services (they are not on Net)... Mike Callahan University of Oklahoma Engineering Computer Network mikec@uokmax
