How to load ADVENT on PDP-8?

   Not sure if this was resolved.

   I think the adventure on the diagpack2.rk05 was built for running off
a floppy.  It will not run directly from the rk05 image.  The one on this
image will run directly from it with
RUN RKB0:ADVENT
ftp://ftp.pdp8.net/images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05 
It was built without EAE since my EAE wasn't working right at the time so
should work on any machine.

If you wish to put adventure on a different image/media follow these
instructions
http://www.pdp8.net/pdp8cgi/os8_html/ADVENT.DC?act=file;fn=images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05;blk=2243,9,1;to=auto
Start from the EXECUTION step since the files needed for the earlier steps
no longer exist.

If you are moving between an emulator and a real PDP-8 make sure that
you disable things like EAE when building that you don't have on the 
real PDP-8.
