[comp.sources.games.bugs] space war

ddoughty@rb-dc1.UUCP (Dave Doughty) (06/01/88)

I have compiled space war with no problems. The problem comes
when trying to install and run the program. I installed the
program according to the README. No it goes and prompts me for
my name. When I type a character I get an error in the "swerr"
file saying

	"uio_lgn out of range: Inappropriate ioctl for device"

Can someone help me here? I looked at the code an can't figure
why this error is happening. I am on a BSD4.3 system.

The moderator sent me a copy of Module 2.  Apparently the garbling was an
isolated incident (somewhere along the way).  The moderator said that
the only two cases he heard about were from HP.  Is that where you get
your newsfeeds from or is this a bigger problem than we originally
thought?

Could someone please send me a copy of Module 1.  I too was a victim
of the spacewar module eating monster.

Thanks.

I recently got a copy of spacewar, that is available from netlib@uunet.
Unfortunately, I won't run on my Sun (3 or 4). When running psw, it says:

One moment while the game cranks up.
Killed.

And that's it. Does anyone know what's going on ?

Thanks in advance,

	Hans
