I'm sorry I can't help you "resurrect" MacHack. I'm amazed that 1). You seem to
have found it, and 2) You thought anyone else would have surfed into some dusty
tape storage archive of PDP computers. :)

Has Allan Turing's "hand" chess algorithm ever been set to play on a modern
computer? That would be interesting. Also on the list of interesting historical
programs would be Kaissa, the world champ of so many years ago.
