You might be interested in knowing that this is essentially the same game
as Infocom's Zork series in an older form.  There are some differences
between Dungeon and the Zorks...
Also, from what I know Zork/Dungeon was originally written in MDL, a language
that mostly resembles an illegitimate child of Lisp.

To sum up, I wouldn't mind a copy, but I'm not sure how Infocom would take
it.
