:-)
But the Inform libraries are soo CPU-intentisive that it's no fun trying 
to play ZDUNGEON on a real PDP-11.
In comparision, the Fortran version zipps ahead.

But the original Infocom games run really well on a PDP-11 with ZEMU. 
Which reminds me that I should make a new release. I have fixed some 
rather obscure bugs these last few years.

Hmm, trying to understand what it is, still... Multiplayer dungeon game?
I guess I could truy to get some version down on MIM, and see if I can 
whip it into working...
