B) lots of the same games are available in the pd1: directorys. ( they are spread out through many volumes. you have to find them.) The game I was interested in wasn't one of the big ones like nethack. I am not sure if nethack in particular there somewhere. there are other machines out there with games on them. if you ftp to uunet.uu.net you can get the source to nethack,omega,moria... But then you get to compile it on your machine. I still can't get nethack to compile right under MSC C5.1, when it trys to link I get a 'bigger than 64k DATA segment' That I don't know how to cure.
