In reply to neozeed. Not really. It will fit on an unexpanded PDP-10 when the code has been compiled. As for extending the PDP-10 address space, that was done by DEC.

In reply to Tobis87. The only thing more fun than going all the way back, is dragging stuff all the way forward. Although I kind of like being able to preserve the old stuff as much as possible in an 'as is' type scenario, but I can see the beauty of this kind of stuff, just in the same way f2c made the original FORTRAN Dungeon accessible to far many more machines lacking FORTRAN.

In reply to Lars Brinkhoff. Sounds like what is needed is along the lines of how the IBM emulation crowd created the fictional '380', which is a 370 with an expanded memory address space.

In reply to neozeed. It's found, and it seems to work quite well. However, Zork is too big to be loaded into the interpreter. To do that we need a compiler, and we don't have that (yet).

In reply to Lars Brinkhoff. It's been found? Does it run??

And now there’s the original MDL interpreter for ITS:

Tore registered a new user a short while ago, so he’s around at least.
Thanks for the heads up about gunkies, I could try to add some content again. It was very hard to do when loading a page took one full minute.. sometimes two! It’s snappy now, in comparision.
