[SPG_Active_Members] Long-term Digital Preservation: your technical questions of Sept. 1

[Henry Lowood]

Yes, and we now have the converted files in the University Archives.  
For the Preserving Virtual Worlds project, we found interesting e-mail 
relating to the Stanford version of Adventure and related matters, 
including source code thought to be lost and the database.   Many thanks 
to Tom.

By the way, he was able to fully convert SUMEX-AIM tapes archived up to 
around 1982, but has not yet been successful with the format used after 
that date.
