[net.games.trivia] Saving games in Zork

******* Eat me if you da.... *******

I've just tried to save a game of Zork that I've been playing and
have encountered a bug/feature (delete where applicable). The machine
won't save my adventure. It produces the message

		EMT 0345 caught

The game exited cleanly i.e. no dump to look at. I'm confused.
Could this be due to file/directory permissions ?, who I am ?

Is there anybody out there who knows why, or how or anything at all ?

All contributions would be gratefully received.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.

If UNIX crashes alone in a forest does it make a sound ?

Neither I nor my dog, claim responsibilty for anything at all, under any
circumstances whatsoever, including this message. I'm not even sure if I
claim responsibilty for not claiming responsibilty.

On V7 UNIX (remember V7 ?) zork could be saved and restored by 
typing :-


		>		-- for save
and
		<		-- for restore


haven't tested this on 4.2 etc....
