I'm looking for games that are ALREADY adapted to VMS.  I've looked at
all the games archived from comp.sources.games, and I found that, of the
ones of interest, it would take quite a bit of work to adapt them to
VMS (many require the installation of other stuff like gnu, curses,etc).
Before I spend the long hours of time necessary to adapt them to VMS
(including the installation of all that the auxilliary software - which
I'd prefer NOT to do), I'm posting this request in the hope that somebody
out there has already done the hard work, and have self-contained source
code(s) which can be emailed to me via HEPNET/DECNET, Internet, or Bitnet.

Although I'm looking for a large range of games, the ones of most interest
are:

     SCRABBLE(tm)   (either a complete game, and/or a file containing the
                     COMPLETE Scrabble Dictionary plus longer words).

     CRIBBAGE

     CHESS          (only if it is a strong player)


The source code can be either PASCAL, FORTRAN, and/or C.  I don't have any
interest in games such as Dungeons & Dragons, and the like.  Thanks.
