Does anyone know if the source for the original zork is available anywhere,
and if so, where I can find it?  I'm thinking of the original UNIX version,
the one that for a long time always appeared in /usr/games/zork.  I just
recently had the urge to play that game (childhood memories, I suppose), but
I can't find it anywhere.  Archie is no help, either -- it lists a few sites,
but they only contain the Makefiles.

Are the sources/executables publicly available anymore?  Any pointers or help
would be appreciated..
