Hi Robert, Is the source code available? If yes, how does one get it?

In the early 80's we had an adventure game written in PL/1. It was largely table driven so I added a room full of Texas Aggies. To retrieve the "treasure," an Aggie Joke book, you had to find a bar of soap and throw it into the room at which point the Aggies would run out of the room enabling you to get the book. For the record, I am a Texas Aggie and I understand that the joke will be lost on 49/50ths of the US.
