I am looking for C source code (THINK C on the Macintosh,
Turbo and Microsoft C on the IBM) to a few popular programs:
Moria (5.xx, the most recent bugs-fixed version)
NetHack 3.0 PL x (most recent bugless/near-bugless version)
Empire (not sure of version numbers)
Myth (not sure of version number)
As far as I know, Empire source might be Pascal, so please
excuse the emphasis on C. Searching for these four programs has
been a nearly fruitless year-long quest; the only thing I found
was a garbled copy of Moria (FTP'ed from kukulcan.berkeley.edu)
and a set of compressed (uu? shar?) NH3.0 files which got
accidentally zapped. FTP sites have been very unpredictable; my
nemesis has been the uuencoded/decoded copies of PC source - a
puzzle to me, because the only IBM archives I am apt to see are
ZIP'ed (oh well). I have been told to try xanth.cs.odu.edu
(though I forget for which, Hack or Moria) and uunet.uu.net for
both NH3.0 and the source to uudecode, but have been stymied
by various obstacles (mainly the fact that the source I get seems
to be exclusively UNIX, not IBM or Mac). Perhaps I haven't been
looking in the right directories. If there are more reliable sites,
I would greatly appreciate a tip - I have tried unsuccessfully to get
Hack by mail twice, but am willing to send SASE's and blank disks
if all else fails.
I am also interested in finding other sources, especially
for other FRP-related programs (I am told that _Strategic
Conquest_ on the Mac is a commercial offshoot of Empire), e.g.,
John Raymonds' _Dungeon of Doom_ source (the old public domain
version of _The Dungeon Revealed_) on the IBM PC, Mac, UNIX, or
VMS.
