PDP-11 Zork Manual: Save $2,348.31

[Dan Gahlinger]

This is awesome, so many memories of that game.
The PDF worked fine here.

I'm curious if anyone on the list has a copy of the Zork source code circa 1976?
If nothing exists from that period, I have a copy from Vax/Vms of that era (in fortran),
but I only have the printout, the dtext files did not survive

One of the rumors about the version I have is that it was supposedly able to tell you
exactly where errors were in the code (if you mis-entered it), by line and segment.

I have printouts of various code from 1976,
including Zork, Adventure, Trek5, Trek7, Castle, and Rogue.

OCR'ing this stuff is a massive nightmare, as DEC line printer fonts are horrible.
esp "0" vs "O", and I vs 1 vs l, even reading my eye is tough...

Plus, some of it being pre fortran-77 and the vms weirdness of the time makes it next to impossible to transcode...

Dan.
