- What I m thinking of as the Zork shell might actually be the adventure shell.
-
- I remember the following ways of doing things in it.
- Instead of cd .. it was "go up"
- instead of cd thing it was "go thing"
- to move a file you got the file and placed it in your inventory and then went
- to the new directory and dropped it there.
-
- Is this the adventure shell?
-
- Yes, this is the adventure shell (ash) that I just posted.
-
- I originally got it as a prank to play on people who left themselves logged
- in, but it's not very funny to those poor souls who have never played
- adventure :-)
