    Well, the source is available.. perhaps the ITS retrohackers can find themselves a working compiler.

    As far as I know, we still haven't found any ITS compiler or interpreter.

    We do have the "I see no Zork here" source code, but it's just a short
    MIDAS program.

    A PDP-10 Muddle has now been found.

    An MDL Zork version newer than the one from Bob Supnik has been found.

    Is that this thread:

    https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/12

    Or is there newer information than that?

    I assume what's being referred to is this:
    https://github.com/PDP-10/muddle

    Yes, there is. I'll add to that issue.

    Right.

    Actually, not only one but two versions now. One ITS version from 1973, and another TOPS-20 version from around 1982.

    This is all really interesting. I admire anyone trying to compile a large, 45 year old PDP-10 assembly program!

    One of the guys in our ZIL group is 'porting' Zork from MDL source across to ZIL.
