Having tried many times to get Ross Cuniff's Adventure Definition
Language to run on our PDP-11/70 with V7, I'm crying help.  The
sources compile fine, however when compiling with adlcomp, all
game compilations  came up with "WARNING: STRING undefined". 
Likewise for TELLER and a few other pre-defines. Additionally,
compiling aard comes back with "WARNING: verb( ACTION ) already
assigned."  

After compiling and informing me that I had 2-5 warnings, adlrun
tells me "Illegal instruction, ip = 4068".  The adldebug program tells
me that the instructions at that location are ok.

I suspect that the problem may be that adl was originally written for
a 32 bit machine (e.g. storage conflicts with 32 vs. 16 bit). 

If anyone has had any experience and feel they might be able
to help me out, please send some E-mail correspondence likewise.
