Ah, thanks, Steven! I saw castlemaze.gz there, but never
really thought much about it, and of course it does nothing
if you keep it in zipped form.

So i just unzipped it now, and look forward to having some
time to play it.

Note, however, that dunnet goes _way_ beyond the typical
adventure game: it becomes very surreal, because in addition
to having to navigate your way around in caves, town streets,
and rooms of old buildings, in several places you actually
have to operate UNIX and DOS computers, and the game puts
you right onto the computer! In other words, you'd better
know some UNIX and DOS commands, or you're in trouble!
