[net.sources.games] battlestar game

I have tried to get a copy of battlestar someone got from here
to work correctly and it gets segmentation faults all the time.
Has anyone ever heard of the program(adventure game) and if so
does anyone know whats wrong with it.

I got a copy off the net a few months ago and got it to work
on our VAX 11/785 running BSD4.2 without much problem.  I then
took it to a 68010 running SYSTEM V and got to work there with
very few modifications.

The code isn't perfect and if you do off the wall stuff it will
sometimes bomb out, but I have found this to be a rare happening.
What copy of battlestar do you have?  What version of UN*X are
you running?
