.zork ZORK Welcome to ZORK. Release 13 / Serial number 040826 / Inform v6.14 Library 6/7 West of House This is an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. A rubber mat saying 'Welcome to Zork!' lies by the door. >GO NORTH North of House You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here, and all the windows are barred. >GO EAST Behind House You are behind the white house. In one corner of the house there is a small window which is slightly ajar. >LOOK Behind House You are behind the white house. In one corner of the house there is a small window which is slightly ajar. >OPEN WINDOW With great effort, you open the window far enough to allow entry. >ENTER WINDOW Kitchen You are in the kitchen of the white house. A table seems to have been used recently for the preparation of food. A passage leads to the west and a dark staircase can be seen leading upward. To the east is a small window which is open. On the table is an elongated brown sack, smelling of hot peppers. A bottle is sitting on the table. The glass bottle contains: A quantity of water >GO WEST Living Room You are in the living room. There is a door to the east, a wooden door with strange gothic lettering to the west, which appears to be nailed shut, and a large oriental rug in the center of the room. There is a trophy case here. A battery-powered brass lantern is on the trophy case. There is an issue of US NEWS & DUNGEON REPORT dated 08/26/04 here. On hooks above the mantelpiece hangs an elvish sword of great antiquity. >TAKE LANTERN Taken. >TURN ON LANTERN The lamp is now on. >GO EAST Kitchen On the table is an elongated brown sack, smelling of hot peppers. A bottle is sitting on the table. The glass bottle contains: A quantity of water >GO UP Attic This is the attic. The only exit is stairs that lead down. There is a square brick here which feels like clay. A large coil of rope is lying in the corner. On a table is a nasty-looking knife.
Lo que hay al subir las gradas es un ladrillo cuadrado de arcilla, una gran bobina de cuerda en la esquina, y un cuchillo que se ve peligroso.

Subject: network name change is in effect
Date: Tue May 12 12:39:01 1981
Newsgroups: net.general
I have renamed all the arpanet newsgroups from NET.whatever to fa.whatever.
This includes arpa-bboard, info-cpm, sf-lovers, human-nets, info-terms,
info-micro, arms-d, energy, unix-wizards, teletext, and home-sat.
If you are a subscriber to one or more of the above, you should use
netnews -s to change your subscription from, for example NET.human-nets
to fa.human-nets.
If you are a system administrator for netnews and you have not already
fixed your .sys file to know about the new names, you should do so
at once, or risk losing news.

APPENDIX
The posts in the archive labeled b) above follow. Yes, they're still
available in at least two other places; but with the uncertain status
of the early posts in the A-News Archive, I can't help thinking this
is a case of the more the merrier; and anyway, these help document
some of what I say above.

at-bugs : NET.general
"at" cannot schedule execution on March 1 during leap years.
Fix: />59/s//>=59/
"at" cannot schedule an event during the following year
if requested by month and date.
Fix: Unknown
If the shell script produced by "at" includes the assignment
of exported variables with special characters (e.g. $IFS)
the script can fail.
Fix: A fairly good fix is
/fprintf(file, "%s.n", .ep++);/c
++ix;
fprintf(file, "%.*s'%s'\n", ix-*ep, *ep, ix);
*ep++;
.
A better fix would scan *ep to take care of single
qoute marks in a shell variable.

ac-bugs : NET.general
"ac" as distributed with V7 has several problems.
1) General terminal names are not supported. All terminals
except the console must be named "ttynn". This causes
serious accounting problems as logins on all other terminals
are mapped into the console.
2) Ac looks for "}" to indicate a new date instead of the
correct "{".
3) "Midnight" (-d option) is not always computed correctly.
4) Diagnostic messages are incomplete.
Duke has rewritten ac and fixed these problems.
The new version is available from "duke!~uucp/duke/cmd/ac.c".

look bugs : NET.general
look(1) expects /usr/dict/words to be sorted with -d and -f
options. As distributed (on version 7) the wordlist is
not correctly sorted. As a result, "look ba" yields nothing.
Fix: sort -d -f /usr/dict/words -o /usr/dict/words

Floating-point bug in V7 Unix: NET.general
J. W. Stevenson of Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam has
discovered and diagnosed a most interesting bug in
V7 Unix. The problem is that the floating-point registers and
status are sometimes not saved across memory expansion via
sbreak() or stack growth or (less importantly) forks.
The problem only occurs when a swap is needed to
accomplish the expansion.
What happens is that the swap output IO is begun,
and then the registers are saved when the process
calls swtch() from sleep().
It is possible for the image to be written out before
the saving of the registers.
For reasons I do not fully understand situations can
occur in which the bug manifests itself consistently.
It seems to me that the register-saving should be finished
within a few hundred microseconds at most after initiation of IO
while the actual transfer (with ordinary moving-head disks)
will not begin for several milliseconds at least.
Nevertheless we have demonstrated the bug quite consistently;
by the usual sort of coincidence,
one of our machines began showing floating-point problems
the very same week that Stevenson's letter arrived.
(If the controller prefetches a significant amount of
data or if the disk is very fast then the consistency is not
surprising.)
At any rate, as suggested by Stevenson, the problem can be
fixed by adding the following code
if (u.u_fpsaved == 0) {
savfp(&u.u_fps);
u.u_fpsaved = 1;
}
to the following places in sys/slp.c:
before original line 507, "a2 = malloc(coremap, n);", in newproc();
and, after original line 564, "if(a2 == NULL) {", in expand().

uux bug : NET.v7bugs
A bug in uux prevents the - option from working with binary files.
To fix it, in uux.c, search for "fputs". (It's in an if (pipein) {.)
replace the fgets/fputs loop by
while ((c = getc(stdin)) != EOF)
putc(c, fpd);
and declare c somewhere to be an int. (I put the line
register int c;
right after the if (pipein).)
Fixing this bug will allow the new uusend program, which will be released
shortly, to work, allowing the transfer of binary files across indirect
uucp links.

at bug : NET.general
The 'at' command insists on creating the spool file in mode 644, regardless
of your umask setting. Thus one is unable to create confidential requests.

uucp bug : NET.general
In distributed v7 uucp, if the USERFILE grows
to over 15 lines, uucico will die.
Fix: in chkpth.c chg line 14 from
struct userpath Upt[15];
to
struct userpath Upt[MAXUSERS];
As distributed, MAXUSERS is 20. Chkpth will check
and complain if USERFILE has more lines than MAXUSERS.

mkconf bug : NET.v7bugs
Some time ago a bug was reported in scanf relating to
scanning the format string "%d%c". (This bug is fixed
in the duke version of stdio.)
It seems that mkconf.c REQUIRES this bug in order to work.
Thus we suggest the following fix to mkconf.c:
diff mkconf.c.good mkconf.c.original
107c107
< " trap; br7+10. / 11/70 parity\n",
> " trap; br7+7. / 11/70 parity\n",
739,740d738
< if (n == 0)
< n = sscanf(line, "%s%s%ld", keyw, dev, &num);

Unix alive on P-E 3240: NET.general
Wollongong Unix has just been installed on a Perkin Elmer 3240
at the University of Melbourne. It is alive and well running
two users. Those tired of VAX delivery times or Unibus Adapter
troubles can take heart.

ucbopt lives : NET.general
The optvax at UCB, on the Berknet, has been added to the news network.
This vax is a private vax with a few research projects going on on it.
It is connected off the ucbcory machine, corresponding to the
physical configuration of the Berknet.

col : NET.v7bugs
The buffer-flush bug in col(1) that was mentioned in previous news
is due to using an automatic (local) variable for buffering stdout:
char fbuff[BUFSIZ];
should be changed to
static char fbuff[BUFSIZ];
(exit() also works since main() will not return before flushing.)
Col(1) is just one of several V7 programs with this flaw.
In the Duke version of stdio one can bypass the problem with
setbuf(stdout, SYSBUF);
where SYSBUF is a flag indicating buffering is desired.

Spice & Splice mail aliases: NET.general
We are creating mail aliases for distribution of occasional messages of
interest and reporting of bugs for both the Spice and Splice circuit
simulation programs. This is not really for user consulting but to
make it easier to report bugs or find out what has been fixed already.
Interested parties who would like to put a name on one or both should
send a note to:
esvax.spice@berkeley (over ARPA-Net)
ucbopt!spice (over "uucp")
or
esvax.splice@berkeley (over ARPA-Net)
ucbopt!splice (over "uucp")
These aliases should be used for all incoming messages.

DEC on Usenet : NET.general
DEC now has a Unix system on the Usenet uucp network.
Anyone with questions about or problems with DEC hardware
and it's relationship (interaction) with Unix, feel free
to contact us. We are members of the Telecommunications
Industry Group (TIG or Telco) of DEC and are actively
involved with Unix on current and new DEC hardware.
Currently, we are routing all Usenet traffic through duke.
If necessary or desirable, we could poll other systems as
well. For now, mail duke!decvax!person. Our network
names, etc. are below, feel free to contact us.
