Some small wins that have pleased me...

1. Finally found a lightweight Linux that really does work on my very old hardware. I am liking #Bodhi Linux! Going to use it on all my boxes.
2. On Bodhi, GCC just worked and I have successfully compiled #RunCPM. My first Linux build from a GitHub repo!
3. In #CPM, in RunCPM, on Bodhi, I have successfully got #Zork working! That is what I wanted all along 🤣

Along the way I discovered the Humongous CPM archive. Bookmarked!

#Playing ZORK on End of The Line BBS:

You can play a lot of Infocom games there, & save your progression.

I'm taking a lot of notes. Playing in a dark place only lightened by some diode lights. The cat sleeps in a cardboard box nearby with all 4 irons in the air. What a scene! :0)
