I just wanted to commend the authors of "sail" - the computer version of "Wooden Ships and Iron Men" - on their excellent job done in the area of portability. Not only is the game nicely done, but it's portable too! I was moving sail to a 68000 micro running TRS-XENIX 1.3 which (for those of you who haven't had the "pleasure" of working with this OS) is like stripped-down version 7 system. Well anyhow, I moved the thing over and all I had to change was the signal(SIGCHLD, ...) interrupt handler since TRS-XENIX doesn't support SIGCHLD signals. The moment I took it out, sail compiled perfectly and ran the first time. It's even more impressive considering the amount of code involved - about 4400 lines! Thanks again to the authors of sail.
