advent sources?

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:

I'm still looking for a version of Star Trek that I played
on a 
Harris Minicomputer.  Rather than playing on a 10x10 grid,
you simply 
told it which direction you wanted to go in relation to the
enemy 
ship.  It was very basic, but I still thought it was pretty
cool.  I 
know the description is horrid, but it has been about 20
years since 
I played it.

Would you be interested in Trek7 from 1976 (In fortran) ?

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