I'm passing on a request from a friend of mine who has Internet but not Usenet access. The text follows: >O person with Usenet access, Hail and Greetings! We recently (last Thursday) >installed a C compiler here at work. As part of getting myself back into that >language, I thought I might try porting a copy of nethack to VMS. I have a >version (1.0.3, I think) collected back in the 1986-1987 era when I managed a >VAX/VMS cluster that ran Eunice (a BSD Unix environment that runs on top of >VMS) and had access to the net. Would it be possible for you to check with the >net to see what the current version is, and whether anyone has ported this game >to Ultrix or VMS? >For that matter, I wouldn't mind having source any other interesting games out >there. C, Fortran, and Pascal are the languages I would be most interested >in. Due to my lack of direct connection, Sneakernet would probably be the >best method for any large transfer. Thanks! If you can help him out, I would prefer you contact him directly. His name is Borden Armstrong and he can be reached at <72531.716@CompuServe.COM>. however, I will forward to him replies to my account intended for him. Thanks much... -- Dave Bartley / John Fluke Mfg. Co. / P O Box 9090 / Everett, WA 98206-9090 USA dbb@tc.fluke.COM ....!{uw-beaver,sun,uunet}!fluke!dbb (Tel. +1 206 356 5781)
