I still kindof like that early request for anonymity, though. :-)
He really was mad to decide to implement this stuff in FORTRAN. Really
good work by him to pull it off...

A person at DEC managed to get the hands on the
sources of ZORK. This
person then did an implementation in FORTRAN, based on the MDL
sources. This is the "paranoid DEC engineer who prefers to remain
anonymous".
"the paranoid engineer" came out later on though - are we
not allowed to speak his name?
