Unfortunately f2c doesn't work too well on Fortran IV - it expects Fortran77 (or higher) string handling, typing and such-like (though I concede I might be out of date here -- am I?). Even if I could get around that by pre-editing the source, the result -- as you will know if you have used f2c -- is hardly readily comprehensible, and therefore not too maintainable. But if you feel like having a go -- by all means try it! In my assessment, hand conversion is a cheaper option in the long run. I've done such things before. E.g. in translating Essex MUD from BCPL to Fortran IV -- you quickly get to the point of reading code in one language and simply typing it out in the other. :-) -- Mike Arnautov http://www.mipmip.demon.co.uk/ mailto:mla@mipmip.demon-co-antispam-uk Replace dashes with dots and remove the antispam component. =========================================================================== From: "Standeven" <berry@worldinter.net> Subject: Re: Adventure: 751 Point Version Date: 1999/12/30 Message-ID: <01bf5318$2f6f3140$2e4ccfd8@default>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 566668305 References: <386697E4.3DA80BCD@qadas.com> <3867EDF4.2073902@hotmail.com> <bh2svGAzsma4EwoM@mipmip.demon.co.uk> X-Trace: newsfeed.slurp.net 946593901 216.207.76.46 (Thu, 30 Dec 1999 16:45:01 CDT) NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 16:45:01 CDT Newsgroups: rec.games.int-fiction Mike Arnautov <mla@mipmip.demon-co-antispam-uk> wrote in article <bh2svGAzsma4EwoM@mipmip.demon.co.uk>... > Lee Kai Wen <Lee_Kai_Wen_spam_be_gone@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> Now that CompuServe is no more, is there anyone who knows where I can play the > >> deluxe, 751-point version of Adventure? > > [...] > I take it that must be LONG0751 on Russell Dalenberg's Adventure Family > Tree (see, e.g., http://www.mipmip.demon.co.uk/adv/advfamily.html).
