Subject: New Linux port of Dungeon / Zork
A new port of the classic game named Dungeon (Zork), which uses the original
source code, has been placed at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/games/textrpg
as the current version of Dungeon. The relevant parts of the
description file read as follows:
Title: dungeon
Version: 3.2.3
Entered-date: 2001-11-11
Description: A linux port of the Dungeon game once distributed by DECUS.
Originally written at MIT, this game is the predecessor to the
famous series of Zork games by Infocom. It is roughly
equivalent to Zorks I, II, and III combined. The game solution
is included as files hints.txt and endhints.txt. This version
is intended to replace version 2.5.6 and contains additional
puzzles which were later included in the commercial Zork games.

Subject: xlocate, X front-end for an efficient use of slocate
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 23:29:36 CST
xlocate is a highly configurable X front end to the standard Linux
file search utility slocate.
xlocate enhances usability of slocate by allowing an easy management of
index files for local and remote file systems, including shelved
collections of removable drives, CDROMs and data DVDs.
xlocate uses Qt libraries and is GPL.
I hope you'll find it useful.
