So can I get any of you to try out Castle and see if you can find any bugs? no one plays text adventures any more... http://trek7.sourceforge.net/files/castle/ Code for Dos/Windows, Linux, and Mac. If there was a halfway decent pascal compiler for Vax, I'd port it there, but I can't even do

I took a quick peek, and most of the code looked very straight forward. A caveat is that most any Fortran compiler I've seen or heard of for Linux is not so good. So, if you have problems on the Linux side, I'd probably blame that compiler sooner than the code... :-) I didn't spot where any

Re: [Simh] Crowther's Adventure game

It may likely have been that plus version, hard to say. the code in the vms directory should compile on a vms (or simh) 7.3 using compaq fortran or whatever packages with it. that code is likely workable to multi-player on vax, but I'd like to find a way to get the linux code to do multiplayer.

yeah it's completely totally different. the original code was from PDP, but written by Donald Ecclestone at UWO (Western) in London Ontario I started helping him out with the code in 1978 just when he ported it over to the vax. There's some time-restricting code in it to prevent students from

weird - http://trek7.sourceforge.net/ Works perfectly for me but yes, it's Fortran on the Vax from 1976-1978 timeframe it was Fortran/IV and/or/mixed Fortran/77 so not "standard" fortran at all. actually the code wouldn't compile at all with compaq fortran (IBM) or even on a vax with newer

Re: [Simh] Crowther's Adventure game

IFILE (and OFILE) don't allow specifying a file extension.  In fact, they only support 5 (or fewer) character file names.  (5 x 7-bit = 36-bit word - don't ask about the extra bit.)  They're a hack to allow specifying a filename at runtime; earlier, you had to use a hardcoded name associated with
