trolling through some old mit backups...
I found a copy of "advent" fortran source from 1979. Is that interesting
to anyone? It looks more complex than the Crowther sources but I have
no idea.
I also found a file with PDP-6 Space war sources. Anyone interested?
It mentions a "340" display. It's an ITS "ar" file which I think
would
be easy to pull apart back into ascii files.

Any chance of a copy of DND in there? Especially for RSTS/E or RT-11? I'm
aware of what is at http://members.tripod.com/~rancourt/default.htm

That'd be fun to look at. Can you put this stuff up somewhere?

The "AR_SPCWAR" file is an ITS "archive device" file. Think
'tar' style
composite. It's a bunch of files glued together.
The other files seem to be reasonably intact.
I found them on accident... :-)

I have found a basic version and some FORTRAN IV source files which
seem to be close, but I have not been able to find the exact sources.
The SST.DOC file does provide some references that may help.

Trek7 was written in Fortran IV/Fortran 77, originally on a pdp-11, but the code I have is
for the vax.
