AD&D Combat Program

How much interest is there in a program that does the following (for 1st ed):

1) Determines Surprise (takes into account Dex, Rangers/Monks, etc.)
2) Rolls attacks for monsters during an encounter and determines hits based on players' AC
3) Calculates treasure and XP for encounters

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing that.

Don't base it on "ADDICT" and I'm there.

If not on ADDICT, then what? I'm still not entirely clear on the Initiative myself, so if you have a better explanation that would be great.

I've seen DF discussions of ADDICT before, but haven't really read them. What is it, and why is it no good IYE Bill?

I wouldn't say it "is no good" but some feel there are some deviations and interpretations of the official rules for the purposes of clarifiaction instead of tackling the actual rule itself.

Personally for me, there are a lot of references to UA which I do not use.
