1981 mainframe Zork built from MDL source code

There appears to be something missing here. This builds an ITS emulator? How do you start ITS? How you get Zork running?

Yes it builds the ITS emulator. See previous post on how to start Zork.

@mgrant

I remember from ITS, at the DDT, you do :zork or zork ctrl-K. But does this ITS come with zork pre installed? Or do you also need to suck down the other repo?

No, Zork is pre-installed.

@mgrant

For the time being, I’m just interested in running zork, not my goal to recompile it or get a full ITS running unless i need to.

Maybe it’s available online somewhere? The mainframe version.

There was an emulator running online before, see 1978 Zork running on PDP-10 emulator

At the moment it seems to be down or unavailable. @larsbrinkhoff?
