Archived from groups: rec>games>int-fiction, others (more info?)

Once upon a time, I downloaded an Adventure map that was drawn
by a pen plotter. It was a three-dimensional view at an angle,
and IIRC was drawn with red and green ink. Now I can *not* find
that map anywhere!!!

Can someone tell me where I might download it from the internet???

(I have tried to Google my way to it, and even tried using Google
Groups to seek out an older Usenet message mentioning it...*no* joy.)

(<a.f.c.>...please trim int-fiction from the follow-ups after the
thread decays into other subjects...)

I know that the November 1982 issue of "DEC Professional" had part of
a map of Zork (Dungeon) on the front. ISTM that the complete map was
inside this issue. But I am *not* aware of a Colossal Cave map in any
issue of "DEC Professional".
