The free brochure doesn't print your name (but should it?)

[eriktorbjorn]

The text of the free brochure is apparently supposed to include your user name, or something like that. See BROCHURE:

          (<AND <VERB? "EXAMI" "LKAT" "READ">
            <==? <PRSO> <SFIND-OBJ "BROCH">>>
           <TELL ,BRO1 1 ,USER-NAME ,BRO2>
           <AND <OCAN .STAMP>
            <TELL "Affixed loosely to the brochure is a small stamp.">>
           T)

But I don't understand things well enough to see how it gets that information. It's set in the START function, that much I can see:

    <COND (<L? .MUDDLE 100>
           <AND <G? <LENGTH .XUNM> 2> <=? <SUBSTRUC .XUNM 0 3> "___"> <QUIT>>
           <SET FN <ITS-GET-NAME .XUNM>>)
          (<SET FN <GET-NAME>>
           <COND (<NOT ,TENEX?>
              <AND <0? <13 ,OUTCHAN>>
               <PUT ,OUTCHAN 13 80>>)>)>
    <COND (.FN
           <SETG USER-NAME .FN>)
          (<SETG USER-NAME .XUNM>)>

This is a bit of a problem...

On ITS you could flesh out your login with extra information (full name, telephonenumber, office adress, supervisor and other contact information). The function ITS-GET-NAME queried this DB to get your full name to print on the envelope. I don't know how to fix this to work generally over many platforms. Maybe attach a generic name?

The FORTRAN version in this repository seems to use "Intrepid Adventurer".
