Hi David,

I was wondering if you could provide a binary or a link to the Rich Salz archive? I found two different versions of the abermud.zip which unpack the same, so I believe I have that, although an authoritative source (as a link or binary) for the abermud.zip would not hurt at all.

I ask because I am interested in trying to reconstruct the original B source code. I assume the B source has been lost, as had the original Thompson B compiler, but enough fragments of compiled library code survived that the B compiler has been reconstructed accurately.

So it would be cool to have some more substantial applications written in B (at the moment we only have a collection of command line utilities from Unix V1/V2 as far as I am aware). A glance through your source shows that it is mostly B compatible, I did not check carefully but if struct is used it can be replaced with array, etc.

Cheers, Nick

Compiles with a recent 64-bit Cygwin with GCC 10, but fails to run with a segmentation fault. May be a 64-bit issue, hard to tell without investigating further.
