OK, it took some looking through the archive, but knowing it was on the tape
helped (I really wish there was an index for this site).

ftp://mvb.saic.com/disk%24misc/decus/VAX84C/CONSAD/ST84/

It mostly builds under OpenVMS 7.2-1H1/Alpha using Compaq Fortran
V7.4-1341-46ACJ and the /OLD_F77 flag. Unfortunatly it looks to be missing
at least a few of the files needed to build it (TREK84.FOR, TREK84.FDL, and
the VARDICT.* files at a minimum).

Based on the doc's this looks like a very interesting version! Unfortunatly
it doesn't seem to be online anywhere else.

V00037

Coded in RATFIV?

> TREK.BAS on V00282

Seems to work, and looks interesting

> VAXstation games on V00322 (obviously unlikely to be text based ...)
> UNO on V00401
> HACK on V00526
> An Othello game on VS0175
> DROIDS on VAX91B
