But the Inform libraries are soo CPU-intentisive that it's no fun trying
to play ZDUNGEON on a real PDP-11.
In comparision, the Fortran version zipps ahead.
But the original Infocom games run really well on a PDP-11 with ZEMU.
Which reminds me that I should make a new release. I have fixed some
rather obscure bugs these last few years.
I haven't
ever checked DND, but I also have DUNGEON V3.2 running on RSX,
but I don't know if that could run under RSTS/E. I did a backport to
RSX, but I had to play around a lot with overlays as well as using split
I/D space to get it running.
I suspect RT-11 is out of the question though.

Dungeon V3.2 would be nice on RT-11, but realistically your Z-Code
interpreter lets Zork and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy run, what more do
I need for games on RT-11? :^) The DND webpage
http://members.tripod.com/~rancourt/default.htm mentions
versions for TOPS-20, RSTS/E, VAX/VMS, and RT-11 (written in Pascal). In
spite of what the webpage states, everything that is there to download
appears to be for VMS.
Hmm, trying to understand what it is, still... Multiplayer dungeon game?
I guess I could truy to get some version down on MIM, and see if I can
whip it into working...
