The newest sources that I know of are on uunet.uu.net. They were in the /tmp directory as of a few days ago. I don't know if they are still there or not. These sources compile under X11R4, which any of the others that I have found will not. It is still version 2.2 of xtank, nothing new has been added as far as I can tell. The color code hasn't been fixed so it doesn't work correctly on a color system. I have successfully got it running on a SPARCStation 1, although I'm not sure if the threads code works since all we have been doing with it is blowing each other to kingdom come. I didn't have any problem getting it to build. Just made a few minor changes to the makefile and to config.h.
