The reason you didn't get a response is that there ARE NO SOURCES for UNIX Zork. The PDP-11 implementation is a patched RT-11 binary. The VAX implementation is that same binary run in PDP-11 emulation mode. The RT-11 original was written in Fortran by "an anonymous DEC engineer" and submitted to DECUS, the DEC user's group. You might find something through them in their archives. You have to be a member to do so. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (tekecs!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]
