I am the original designer of QJ and am sorry to hear of your difficulties bringing it back to life. I'd be willing to help convert it to a modern PC to be run as a PBM game. I still have the original C code I gave to RVO. Unfortunately it is in the form of a printout perhaps 100 pages long (maybe it still exists on a 5-1/4" floppy somewhere in the vast archive that comprises my basement). Let me know what I can do to help.

The Mac code was run in the developer environment on what is now a very old Mac, it was never a stand alone program in the Mac version. I still have the computer, no idea if it runs and I don't remember how it worked at this point either.
I'm sure I sent Bob the source code on a mac floppy, with that in hand its more about skill of programmer and time I would think.. but an expensive process as Jeff has discovered.
