In one of the repositories of Infocom game source code
recently uploaded
to Github, there's an executable that appears to have come from an m68k
Unix machine of some sort. It's at
https://github.com/historicalsource/zork-german/blob/master/zap. Over at
intfiction.org[1], it was initially claimed to be from a Macintosh. Then
I suggested it was from a pre-Sparc Sun machine. Then someone else
suggested it was from A/UX. Does anyone know anything more conclusive?
Doing file(1) on it, I get...
$ file zap
zap: mc68k COFF object not stripped (demand paged)
I also happen to have another version (not from github)
$ file sun/zap
mc68020 demand paged dynamically linked executable not stripped
_That_ one is a Sun3 binary.
