-
- The most common questions, asked by both beginners and others:
-
- <...>
-
- How do I get the Moria sources/executables/documentation?
- (FTP from ftp.cis.ksu.edu)
-
- The following Umoria files are available by anonymous FTP from
- kukulcan.berkeley.edu (IP address 128.32.121.190), or from
- ftp.cis.ksu.edu (IP address 129.130.10.80). The kukulcan archive is no
- longer supported, but it is still listed here because it has some files
- which are not available on KSU.
-
- The sources were also posted to comp.sources.games, so they should be
- available (in compressed shar form) on any site which archives
- comp.sources.games, such as ftp.uu.net.
-
- KSU: /pub/Games/Moria/[machine name]
- Kukulcan: /pub/wilson/umoria_5/[machine name]
- Executables for the Amiga, Atari ST, IBM PC, and Mac; look at the README
- files in these directories for more information. Some of these files
- may need to be transferred in binary mode; type "binary" before
- transferring the files. KSU has both color and monochrome executables
- for the IBM PC.
-
- KSU: /pub/Games/Moria/source/um5.5.tar.Z
- Kukulcan: /pub/wilson/umoria_5/um5.5.tar.Z
- A compressed tar file containing the entire source, for use on any
- system; if you have tar on your system, this is probably the file that
- you want. (If you don't have compress, you can ftp it as well; it is
- /pub/wilson/compress.tar.) This file must be transferred in binary
- mode; type "binary" before getting the file. Once you have the tar.Z
- file, type "zcat um5.5.tar.Z | tar xf -" to extract the files, and
- read the README files for help in installing.
-
- Kukulcan only: /pub/wilson/umoria_5/um5.5.shar
- A shar file containing the source.
-
- KSU only: /pub/Games/Moria/pc/src/mor55src.zip
- A ZIP file containing the source.
-
- Kukulcan only: /pub/wilson/umoria_5/umoria
- The source distribution in plain text. If you need just the
- documentation, copy the files in the directory /pub/wilson/umoria_5/doc;
- if you need the auxilliary files (help files, high scores), copy the
- files in /pub/wilson/umoria_5/files.
-
- KSU only: /pub/Games/Moria/doc
- The documentation for Moria 5.4, including the official documentation,
- the FAQ file, and a complete monster list.
-
- KSU only: /pub/Games/Moria/pc/color and /pc/mono
- The auxilliary files are in these directories; you may need them if you
- have an executable without them.
-
- KSU: /pub/wilson/vms (tar files only)
- Kukulcan: /pub/wilson/vms_moria (tar files and plain text)
- The source distribution, in Pascal, for BOSS, and for VMS Moria 4.8 and
- 5.0. Umoria 5.x will also work on VMS machines.
