Its copyright notice as it appears in the source code is:

/* World C Version 1.00 copyright 1987 J.D.McDonald
   Use as you like for non-commercial purposes, but please
   leave this note, and document any changes you make as yours */

The source code was acquired from the Usenet comp.source.games archives
and ported to the Apple IIgs by:

Jason Harper
CompuServe: 76703,4222

The only changes made were to apply patches to bring the program up to
version 1.01, modify the input routine so that the left-arrow and clear
keys function properly, and add a 'Press RETURN to continue' prompt at
the end of the game if called from a program selector such as the Finder
which may immediately clear the screen, making the final message impossible
to read.

This program should work on any IIgs with at least 512K of available (not
used by the RAM disk) system memory.  It is freely distributable, but not
to be sold: PDE, BRCC, and other such companies, keep your grubby little
hands off of it!  Make sure that all three files are kept together if you
pass it on: WORLD (program), Q1TEXT.DAT (data), and WORLD.README (this file).


Hints:

The first thing you should do after running the program for the first time
is type HELP, which will give you various instructions and hints.

Use of the adverbs 'slowly', 'carefully', or 'quickly' with some commands
make make the desired result more likely or safer.

SAVE the game frequently.

You can still move around after you are dead, but can't accomplish anything.
There is only one way to get brought back to life, and only one place you
can do it from.

Make a map of the game as you go along.  It's your only hope.
