Hi.
?
The version I came across is this one found within an Archived internet site:
?
I simply 'paste' bellow the relevant part found on that site:
ZORK for CMS
- ?(162K)
- ?(182K)
- ?(20K)
- , source and executables (693K)
The three packed files should be transferred in binary mode and then prepared for execution on CMS as follows:
- pipe < zork modpack | fblock 1024 | unpack | > zork module b
- pipe < zork tdatpack | fblock 1024 | unpack | > zork textdata b fixed
- pipe < zork indxpack | fblock 1024 | unpack | > zork index b4
The VMARC file (which contains the other files) should be transferred in binary mode, reblocked using an "fblock 80" pipeline stage, and then unpacked using the VMARC command.
?
I didn't manage to make it to work, I didn't expected to, due to the lack of PIPE command in CE.
I gave a try anyways, but being quite a noob on CMS (I come from the Linux world) I simply unpacked the VMARC right on my user A minidisk (what a mess! I had to clean up quite a lot afterwards... but I'm almos sure genzork exec was among the unpacked stuff) and tried to launch the zork exec, which threw quite a lot of terminal ugly errors.
So I guess I should have to instead add to my user a small minidisk with a few cyls, and 'mount' it as B, and unpack the whole stuff there.
?
Anyways, I have to take a look at the Moshix one you pointed out... don't know wether or not (possibly it is) the same piece of software.?
?
It would be very fun to have it working on CE!
