I have placed the sources for "a" 551 point version of "Adventure"
for anonymous ftp on c.scs.uiuc.edu (128.174.90.3). The "a" is in quotes
as there are more than one such beasties. 

The "caveat emptor" is because it is for the VAX and it is neither 
standard Fortran IV, 66, or 77. It IS a mess. But it works. It really
isn't too hard to make work on other systems. I did it for the IBM
PC under the loathsome Microsoft Fortran 3.31.

You need the files in the anon. ftp directory of c.scs beginning with "a".

I will remove it in one month.
