[Simh] Crowther's Adventure game

[Carey Tyler Schug]

I had always been told it was first written in some proprietary DEC list 
processing language, and only later converted to FORTRAN.  Is this the 
original conversion?

Did anybody suggest the following fix to put a blank in the carriage 
control position??

998     FORMAT(1H ,20A5)
