Someone left me a message yesterday asking if I had permission from Scott Adams for the use of the Pirate adventure. The message has disappeared, but the concern is valid and here is my reply: ARRRRRRRRGH! No, I didn't, and I really didn't mean to upload copyrighted material. By way of explanation, through the various incarnations and computer systems the program migrated through, I had really forgotten where that particular adventure had originated. Your comment brought it back, though, and Pirate is indeed the property of Scott Adams. I made a serious error in uploading something for which I did not remember the source. As for the rest, the program interpreter itself, while loosely based on the original as presented in an article several years ago is an original creation, as is the Hood adventure. I have uploaded a corrected version of ADV1.ARC which does not contain the Pirate adventure. I can't believe I did that, and I'm sorry. It won't happen again, and thanks for calling it to my attention. Sincerely, Rod Allen
