   If ZORK were
ever to run on any other machine
 that machine first and foremost would have to
 have MDL. You know if SDS had that? 
 A quick scan of my MDL manuals:

 "The MDL Programming Language" by Galley & Pfister

 and

 "The MDL Programming Environment" by Lebling

 (both published by Laboratory for Computer Science @ MIT)

 show that MDL only ran on ITS, Tenex, and TOPS-20. 
All which are operating systems for the PDP-10, which I hope you know. :-)
