OK...it's awesome. Now *what* is it? Is it a restore of an early
UNIX system? Some familiar commands work; many do not.
The area code database in the wardial program told me it was mid-80s
(based on which Chicago-area NPAs were listed.) Looking at the usenet
program, which contains actual old posts (!) confirms this. From what I could tell, it's a puzzle game of some
sort. I typed "quest",
and it suggested I break into a system a couple of
hops away, then
read a file there for further instructions. I assume a series of quests is
how one gets DEMIGOD instead of USER after their names :-).
