The history of this implementation is sort of wierd since it was apparently copied (i.e., reimplemented) from a game originally seen on a PC to begin with. The original author (of the reimplementation) created a Unix-C-and-curses implementation which was later ported to the PC. Mike Ching takes credit for adding EGA support using Turbo C BGI. I have compiled it and the EGA version looks pretty neat. It's supposed to revert to a text-and-curses implementation if you do not have an EGA but I have yet to try this out. Perhaps I should submit to c.b.i.p? (I'm not clear on Rahul's attitude towards games - I was under the impression that he did not want to post them, but the recent revival of the raging controversy over unmoderated binaries groups reveals, if I understood correctly, that he simply relegates games to a lower priority.) regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.
