[alt.sources.wanted] Gulam, can I get the source?

tn03@uafhcx.uucp (Sven Thjostarsson) (02/01/91)

Can I get the source to Gulam?  I'd love to try to port it to Coherent.
How can I reach the author?  Please respond via email as I don't read
these newsgroups.

Thanks in advance!

Some time ago, on Mon Nov 13 20:28:27 1989, the author of Gulam,
pmateti@crimson.wright.edu (Prabhaker Mateti), posted the following to this
very newsgroup:

I hope this answers at least a few questions.
