Since you didn't provide any useful clues:
"Citadel as BBS software came online in 1981. The ideas behind it are even
older than that. In 1978, on a timeshared PDP-10 at the UW there was a
multi-user game called DandD.pas loosely resembling what is now known as a
MUD. A feature of DandD.pas was being able to write on the walls of rooms.
Soon the communication in the rooms became as important as the game itself.

Have you tried Jason Scott?
I assume the name is the only similarity to the following? Also dating back
to the PDP-10.

I suspect the genre is the same, but I didn't see any mention of the file
I'm after. Am I just not seeing it?
