I think you will find that the 551 point version was due to David Platt.  It
was converted to C by Ken Wellsch <kcwe...@math.uwaterloo.ca> from Oz.  I am

There is also a map for the 551 point version of Adventure.  And out on the WEB
somewhere there is a walk-through (read "script of completed game) of this version.
I too would like to see the DEC map in octogons (whatever version it is for).
