Does anyone know where I can find the source to a program called Battle
Zone for X windows. I've found a compiled version called xbzone on our
system but I need to recompile it, and there is also no documentation
(like a man page) which I miss.
Thanks!

\begin{another-plug-for-archie}
Telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca. Log in as "archie" with no password. Type
"set sortby time" to see the newest entries first, then "set search subcase"
to make the searching a little bit faster, then "prog xbzone".
If you don't have telnet access, then send mail to
"archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca" containing the body "prog xbzone" (unfortunately,
the set commands don't work in mail yet).

After doing this, I got a whole slew of responses, including:

Even if these are the most up-to-date-version, I am not convince that they
will include a man page, but it might be worth a look.

It is much improved, and judging from the list archie gave me, a lot more widespread. I've edited out entries which had the old version or obviously incomplete copies.

I don't know about xbzone, but you can find cbzone (which is BattleZone for X) at expo.lcs.mit.edu, in the contrib directory.... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= mattl@nick.csh.rit.edu !
