Wanted: latest version of game MORIA for VMS
gr...@sdcc12.uucp
Three years ago, members of my group got hooked on the rogue-like
game MORIA on a VAX/VMS 11/750. Now that we haved moved to our own
MicroVAX II/VMS 4.4, I would like to obtain the latest version of
this game. Does anybody know the origin/distributor/status/whereabouts
of code for this game? Thanks for any leads...

Has any work been done to convert this game to Unix? If not, I would
like to know if the source (Pascal I understand) is available. I would
like to examine it for a possible port to C/Unix.

At Rutgers we have a copy of version 4.5 of moria. If this is the
newest version of moria then we have it... if it is not ... please let
me know where a newer version.
The sources are written in Vax Pascal and any port to unix(tm)
would be a *major* undertaking.

The program was written at the University of Oklahoma. The current
version is 4.7.
The program author is no longer at the University of Oklahoma. I've
sent off a letter to the current person maintaining the game. I'll post
the information as soon as I get it.

The answer to the question of the availability of MORIA:

Subj: RE: Moria Availability
As of now, the status is "Limbo", since Mr. Koeneke has moved on and I
have been left in charge and I am still trying to sort everything out.
Source code is not available at the current time but may be made available
in the future. I hope to be able to arrange everything to make it easy to
make tapes to send out in the future, I also need to get in touch with Robert
to see if this is ok.

I believe the current version of moria is up to 4.9. This version only
has bug fixes and minor enhancements (and of course it is harder to win).
The game originated at the University of Oklahoma - University Computing
Services. It is still being enhanced here. The author, Robert Koenoke,
has gone to work at an airline company, but plans to port a version to the
PC.
I personally have been working on changing the ~22000 lines of VMS (very
non standard) pascal into C, but only have about ~7000 lines done....
Maybe one of these years it will work under Unix (it would be nice not
to have to log into their machine to play it). I will forward mail to the
people at University Computing Services (they are not on Net)...
