Pat Wilcox (formerly Crowther) is alive and well and living at the sign
of the Coolspring Banjo Works north of Columbus, Ohio.  She gave up
caving about ten years ago because of back trouble, but keeps busy
designing Amiga software and fonts, playing for square dances, and
being a brand new OSU grad student.  (Mid-terms -- aaaarrrrggggghhh!)

Yep, Colossal Cave, the spring house, the gate, the Hall of the Mountain
King, the maze of twisty little passages...  They're all real.  We typed
in all that survey data from muddy little books on a 110-baud teletype
to a PDP-1 (the survey code took advantage of an undocumented side-effect
of a custom-wired instruction that was only on that one machine, he he he).
Then generated plotting commands on huge rolls of paper tape, which we
carried over and plotted using a salvaged Calcomp drum plotter attached
to a Honeywell 316 that was destined to become an ARPAnet IMP.  (Will
Crowther did a lot of the original ARPAnet code, too, when he wasn't 
busy writing Adventure.)
