Any pointers? Thanks! "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] __ / ) Bernie Cosell /--< _ __ __ o _ BBN Sys & Tech, Cambridge, MA 02238 /___/_(<_/ (_/) )_(_(<_ cosell@bbn.com
