- I am looking for C source code (THINK C on the Macintosh,
- Turbo and Microsoft C on the IBM) to a few popular programs:
-
- Moria (5.xx, the most recent bugs-fixed version)
- NetHack 3.0 PL x (most recent bugless/near-bugless version)
- Empire (not sure of version numbers)
- Myth (not sure of version number)
-
- As far as I know, Empire source might be Pascal, so please
- excuse the emphasis on C. Searching for these four programs has
- been a nearly fruitless year-long quest; the only thing I found
- was a garbled copy of Moria (FTP'ed from kukulcan.berkeley.edu)
- and a set of compressed (uu? shar?) NH3.0 files which got
- accidentally zapped. FTP sites have been very unpredictable; my
- nemesis has been the uuencoded/decoded copies of PC source - a
- puzzle to me, because the only IBM archives I am apt to see are
- ZIP'ed (oh well). I have been told to try xanth.cs.odu.edu
- (though I forget for which, Hack or Moria) and uunet.uu.net for
- both NH3.0 and the source to uudecode, but have been stymied
- by various obstacles (mainly the fact that the source I get seems
- to be exclusively UNIX, not IBM or Mac). Perhaps I haven't been
- looking in the right directories. If there are more reliable sites,
- I would greatly appreciate a tip - I have tried unsuccessfully to get
- Hack by mail twice, but am willing to send SASE's and blank disks
- if all else fails.
-
- I am also interested in finding other sources, especially
- for other FRP-related programs (I am told that _Strategic
- Conquest_ on the Mac is a commercial offshoot of Empire), e.g.,
- John Raymonds' _Dungeon of Doom_ source (the old public domain
- version of _The Dungeon Revealed_) on the IBM PC, Mac, UNIX, or
- VMS.
