saj@chinet.UUCP (Stephen Jacobs) (09/16/88)
I promise to be a good boy from now on, but I can't resist posting a character
with an interesting life story. He has lived all his life on an Atari 1040
ST. He has survived 3 rounds of major bug fixes, and the only bugs he's seen
in the last 20+ hours of play have been Killer beetles. The program which
constitutes his world is presently being posted in comp.binaries.atari.st.
The moderator of comp.sources.atari.st has ordinary diffs between the source
posted in comp.sources.games and that compiled with Mark Williams C v 3.0.6
to produce this version (they aren't very big; however ST curses is not
included--it's fairly easy to find on BBS-s); whether he posts the diffs is up
to him.
I am willing to US Mail executable and complete modified source (plain, arc-ed,
or arc-ed and uuencoded: say which) to anyone who maintains a uucp-accessible
archive mail-server (like lakesys) or to anyone who maintains appropriate
archives on a machine which allows the general public to log in and use the
archive (like killer) (Bill Wisner already has the sources, but I have no
idea if he intends to put them in the archives on killer). If you meet one
of these conditions and want the stuff, email me: I buy disks & postage. If
you have a good story why nothing else will work, and you don't meet the
above qualifications, email me and maybe we can arrange something on your dime.
Re-emphasizing something I've said before: the ST version of umoria 4.87 is
large enough to require at least 1 meg, and it runs under a command line
processor.
