Nancy:  The game I replied to Lachlan Patrick about was called Wilderness
Adventure.  I was written by a person at Call A.P.P.L.E. about 15 years
ago  and I believe it was done in int basic.  It had a random generator in
it so the setting at the beginning was not always the same.  It had a sea
portion also...  It was written by Bob Clardy.
