|

<a href="hello-world.html"><i class="glossterm">hello world</i></a>; seems to have originated at SAIL, later associated with
|
||
the game <a href="../Z/Zork.html"><i class="glossterm">Zork</i></a> (which also included “<span class="quote">hello,
|
||
aviator</span>” and “<span class="quote">hello, implementor</span>”). Originally from
|
||
the traditional hooker's greeting to a swabbie fresh off the boat, of
|
||
course. The standard response is “<span class="quote">Nothing happens here.</span>”; of
|
||
all the Zork/Dungeon games, only in Infocom's Zork 3 is “<span class="quote">Hello,
|
||
Sailor</span>” actually useful (excluding the unique situation where
|
||
_knowing_ this fact is important in Dungeon...).</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="hell-desk.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="hello-world.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">hell desk </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> hello world</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
