Summary: I'm not sure it's available in source

I haven't seen the DECUS distribution, but I am under the impression that
what DECUS has is idential to the Zork that floats around on Vaxen which
comes in object format with a few lines of c code that do nothing interesting.
I think the people who wrote it were quite shrewd in distributing it free
on big computers and then selling it on micros.

If I'm wrong, someone correct me and tell me how to get the source.
