In the file fact-sheet.txt which may be found in if-archive at ftp.gmd.de,
the following information can be found in the section about Implementors:

>"Professor" Brian Moriarty
>--------------------------
>Adventure in the Fifth Dimension                       ~83   (Analog Comp.)
>Crash Dive!                                            ~83   (Analog Comp.)
>[...]

Analog Comp. is the magazine Analog Computing for which Moriarty worked
before moving to Infocom, and the two games are text adventures which he
wrote for the magazine.

Now, I would like to get my hands on those two adventures, and I am thus
wondering if anyone could provide me with any of the following:

1) The typed-in source for the adventures (I suppose they are written in
BASIC).

2) The issues where they were actually published.

3) Xeroxes or scans of same issues. I could theoretically accept these
by fax. Scans preferrably by email.

4) Information about which those specific issues are.

5) Information on where in the world old ACs may be found.

I would of course pay for any (realistic ;-) expenses.
