No, it has never been posted to the net (at least not the last 10 years or so). But the original program has been rewritten in C. Once at UCLA (this had a beautiful bug: tell lauren@ucla-security that fatal bug 25 happened), but this was never distributed in source. Another rewrite was done at rand (jim@rand-unix). It might also be that the first was based on the second. The sources for the second are in all BSD distributions (and as it does not contain AT&T code it might be publicly available, though I am not sure). On the other hand the source is not much to look at, containing all kinds of labels like L00080 etc. -- Game Keeper Mail: play@cwi.nl
