From an anonymous source close to the company, I've found myself in
possession of the "Infocom Drive" ? a complete backup of Infocom's
shared network drive from 1989... and the source code and
game files for every released /and unreleased/ game Infocom made.

There are downloads of the Milliways game at the bottom of the web page,
right before the comments. You'll need a Z-Machine interpreter to play
them, as usual.
I noodled around in the game files with a bit (with 'jzip' for UNIX). What I
would _really_ like to see is the ancient source code (and if the compilers
survived on that disk).
