The author of this version used different data files from those that came with 4bsd. The effect of all this is a VERY fast version of ZORK. There are two problems: 1) I get a core dump whenever I try to PUT anything, and 2) I always get dumped in the N-S passage from the round room It doesn't seem to randomly deposit me anywhere else. A while ago I tried, unsuccessfully, to get in touch with the author, Daniel Strick. Has anybody else out there running 4bsd tried to get this (or any other, for that matter) version of zork running in VAX native mode? If so, did you have the bugs I found? Did you fix them? Any enlightening info. will be greatly appreciated. Andrew Draskoy {allegra, utcsrgv, inhp4}!garfield!andrew
