Oops. Several people on the net should be able to mail you that one.

Sources are available from the MAST BBS, (612) 472-6582, in Minnesota,
which runs a Telebit T2500 -- you can snag the files at high speed using
either V.32 or PEP protocols. Use STadel to file-request "*.dir" from
the "STadel" room. MAST has source code to STadel and binaries for
STadel, Fortress, Citadel-86 and <fnord>adel. The sysop of MAST is
tacook@mast.moundst.mn.org; the BBS is a Citadel/UUCP gateway.

The problem with the sources is that they depend on the Alcyon compiler,
which almost nobody uses anymore, and Orc's personal mutant libc.a.

Orc's network address is akcs.orc@vpnet.chi.il.us or orc@jazz.sybase.com.
He has released STadel to the public domain and is (slowly) working on
a small, modular, portable replacement.
