I believe the current version of moria is up to 4.9.  This version only
has bug fixes and minor enhancements (and of course it is harder to win).
The game originated at the University of Oklahoma - University Computing
Services.  It is still being enhanced here.  The author, Robert Koenoke,
has gone to work at an airline company, but plans to port a version to the
PC.

I personally have been working on changing the ~22000 lines of VMS (very
non standard) pascal into C, but only have about ~7000 lines done....
Maybe one of these years it will work under Unix (it would be nice not
to have to log into their machine to play it).  I will forward mail to the
people at University Computing Services (they are not on Net)...
