but I have a question regarding Adventure running on
the 11/750, Ethan.
I have an 11/750 and would love to run Adventure on it :-)
Did you use the PDP-11 RT-11 Adventure version , or is there a version
of Adventure specific for for the VAX-11/750 ?
Back in the day (1985), I ran a native FORTRAN version of Adventure
compiled on our 11/750 running VMS 3.4 (3.6?). I think we ran the
same binary under 4.x and 5.x, but I can't recall if we re-linked the
.OBJ files or not.
It's rather trivial to take the RSX/RSTS Adventure sources and get
them working under VAX FORTRAN - a 32-bit environment and wads of
virtual space removes many of the restrictions imposed by a 16-bit
virtual space on an -11 OS. On a PDP-11, I think all ADVENT
implementations use overlays - not required on a VAX.
