I don't have original disks, but on one of the many sites with CP/M
images and apps to download, I found a zip file with a few of the older
games in it, along with the source for the CP/M front-end to customise
terminal strings.  There wasn't one for vt100, so I whipped one up.  It
works great on a real terminal under altairz80 from simh.
