neozeed,

Thank you so much. I do have Fortran and development sets believe it or not for Microsoft Altos Xenix 8086 for Xenix 3.0 & 3.1. I also have the full development sets for Xenix 80286 running Xenix 3.2. I have
x.out and fortran (f77) You’ll have to forgive me I am not an expert on programming… I’ve compiled maybe a few programs in the past by using “make” with I think C compiler.

Would you be interested in giving me a hand at compiling it? Any chance you can contact me off line if you are interested and we can talk?

In reply to Matthew Smith.

I believe this was dungeon-2.5.6, using Fortran to C to convert it.

I’ve built F2C for DOS/OS2/WIN16 so you ought to be able to build it for Xenix if you lack the FORTRAN compiler (I don’t think its preserved for the larger world, I don’t have it)

I put a copy of the source on github

Hey any chance you could provide me with the code for the Dungeon you built? I have the full development set for Xenix 80286 and I could compile it for 286. I’m trying to find Zork for Xenix 286. My machine is running Microsoft Xenix 286 V3.1 and this is before SCO V
