	I think the article would be better with a sample from Adventure (i.e. Colossal Cave Adventure) rather than Dunnet. Historically, Adventure is far more important than Dunnet. And for a connection to NetHack, see Glenn Wichman's page now linked from the article. Both Michael C. Toy and Glenn Wichman enjoyed playing Adventure.

	~~However I would not remove the extensive Dunnet content until <i>after</i> someone has submitted a sample of an Adventure game.~~
