"Le butin du Capitaine Verdeterre" by Ryan Veeder edit / delete

Inform 7 source for the French translation of "Captain Verdeterre's Plunder". The translator's notes are interesting, but on the whole this is a good demonstration of why English natural language programming languages are... not great for writing programs in French.

Mark Williams Company sources edit / delete

Coherent is now free software. The source tree is a bit of a mess -- but it has version control information back to 1990 for much of the code, so it'd be eminently suitable for a reconstruction project at some point. (However, I don't think there'd be much point in trying to resurrect the utilities for modern use; they're full of arbitrary limits...)
