<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks Bob. While its different then trying to get MDL run again, if you want to be a retro gamer - I believe the Fortran version of Zork (called Dungeon), plus the the original Fortran Adventure
sources are in the same directory: <a href="http://simh.trailing-edge.com/games/">http://simh.trailing-edge.com/games/</a>. The Fortran versions are known to compile and run with the current Intel compiler - which to quote Rich Grove: "has a bunch of the
DEC (Gem) compiler DNA ground up and injected into it."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am under the impression that both Dungeon and Adventure are part of the Intel compiler test suite (as they were for the DEC compilers), so I suspect they will even run on on modern Mac's, Linux
and Window's boxes if you set the FTN value in the makefile to point to fort (which you can get a free noncommercial license for if you poke around the Intel websites).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">FYI: gfortran might work but I can not claim to have tried it, while I have personally run them both with ifort on my Mac to show my kids what computer games once looked like (I'm not sure if
they were disgusted or amazed, but I did find when he was 16, my now 20 year, son playing adventure - i.e. it did suck him in - even he had been part of the Wii, Xbox and Nintendo generation. I think he was more impressed that I still had an adventure Map
in a file cabinet that was created on computer printer paper. That said, I'm not sure my daughter (a CS professional these days) was as entranced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
