Did you find anything in .INI files that needed cleaning out at any place
in the system related to this?  I haven't played that game....

Video?  The Max/Linux port is terminal based and using curses (or
ncurses)....  This pre-dates Windows and OS/2....  This is dumb terminal,
80x24 character control....    Which should be fine for a BBS
that expects to talk to just "vt-100" or ANSI "dumb"
terminals.... 

Ok, maybe in back-porting the Linux to compile using the GNU EMX C compiler
under OS/2 I might get some of the older (original) OS/2 code working....

Now, where's sh for OS/2?  [The configure script needs it...]  Guess I
could manually figure out each of the items that script tests and hand edit
vars.mk.

And OS/2 TEDIT does nasty things to s in text files....  And
make that came in GCC321.ZIP does differenciate between  and
eight spaces.  :(

Ok, where did I hide that copy of a VI clone for OS/2?

 ML> Inquiring mind wants to know. ;)

Come join the fun / insanity on working on the code.... ;)

Take care.....
