Hi,

Does the wump.c source exist for v6? The game's in the distribution and 
so is the man page, but I can't find the source. I see it's in v7, but I 
don't know the provenance of the game source, hence the question.

I find the following interesting... in the v7 source it says:

/*
  *      wumpus
  *      stolen from PCC Vol 2 No 1
  */

But it's actually from PCC Vol 2 No 2 (Nov 1973):
https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2017/09/102661095/102661095-05-v2-n2-acc.pdf

and the basic source is given in the games issue:
https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2017/09/102661095/102661095-05-v2-games-acc.pdf

The correct volume is noted in the v6 manpage:

This program is based on one described  in  2  (No-
vember 1973).  It will never replace Space War.

and in the v7 manpage:

This program is based on one described in People's Computer
      Company, 2, 2 (November 1973).

BUGS
      It will never replace Space War.

I'm curious if it was ported to c for v6, or if it was basic?

Thanks,

Will
