I have come across perl before, it's a very popular language often used by
indi developers of graphical games, so there is certainly plenty of
pressident for it to be used in games generally.
I've never actually played this orrigan traile which people mention, so
I'd be interested to give it a go if it was convertable, ---- though
equally I do wonder if someone made a version for one of the more standard
if languages such as zcode.
Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
Sure its possible. There are plenty of languages we could convert this
to such as Python, Perl, or Ruby which would be a lot more current
and be way more cross-platform to boot.
In fact, I have a number of games written in Apple basic such as
Oregon Trail that I'd love to convert to a more modern programming
language. Python sounds like a good bet since it is simple to code in,
is cross-platform, but then requires that the Python runtime be
installed.
Although, for text adventures I've been thinking of using a scripting
language called Perl. It is C-like, but like Python is an interpreted
language. In a way Perl is like writing in C without all the over head
and complexity attached.

That would be welcome indeed.
