Begin preliminary look at running Adventure on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator.
First off using DIR DL0:[*,*]…I found Adventure on the Games disk
It is a FORTRAN program that lives in DL0:[100,102]
If I do DIR DL0:[100,102]ADVENT.*
I get…
Name .Ext Size Prot Date DL0:[100,102]
ADVENT.FOR 7 < 60> 10-Dec-95
ADVENT.PAG 22 < 60> 10-Dec-95
ADVENT.DOC 22 < 60> 10-Dec-95
ADVENT.ODL 1 < 60> 19-Dec-95
ADVENT.SAV 102C <104> 20-Dec-95I assume ADVENT.SAV js the compiled executable because of the C next to the size
If I try and run it I get…
RUN DL0:[100,102]ADVENT.SAV?Err 28 Open failed for file
in routine “RSTRGM” line 28
from routine “INIT ” line 36
from routine “ADVENT” line 28
Ready
Found ADVENT.DOC
It has an internal date of 15-NOV-78
Took a minute but remembered I can list it using PIP DL0:[100,102]ADVENT.DOC
I can cut & paste these listings into Linux files where I can more easily look at them.
Looking at this I see no mention of Colossal Cave Adventure.
After running …
RUN DL0:[100,102]ABUILD.SAV
Ready
However I expected it to rebuild some files and all the files have a 1995 date. I expected my boot date of 85.01.01 on at least 2 files.
But, I now get, 1 less error…
RUN DL0:[100,102]ADVENT.SAV
?Err 28 Open failed for file
in routine “INIT ” line 78
from routine “ADVENT” line 28
Ready
