I recall seeing a mainframe printout of the source for Colossal Cave (some version of it) on eBay years ago. Stood about half a foot high, I forget what they asked for shipping. But I remember it because it's the only source code I've ever seen for sale. Dave Lebling posted a few snippets of the ZIL code from a couple of Infocom games somewhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
