"preferably" is a bit odd -- either you want the original or you
don't.  The original was written in Fortran; it was not-long-after
redone pretty extensively, again in Fortran, and it is this second
version that is the first that really leaked out to the world at
large.  I think it (the revised version) got posted to
comp.sources.games a while back and so can probably be found in
someones archives somewhere.  For the record (most folks know this, I
think) Will Crowther invented it all singlehandedly and wrote the first
version at BBN; Don Woods at SRI did the revision (and expansion) [I
don't know the exact details of the revision, since it happened after
Willy left here for PARC]
