Nope.  I did however fix 1 bug and a problem for Ultrix.

The newlogin.c program can't be run twice.  On the second invocation
it complains about not being able to create a nation.  Simple
fix: the loop which looks for a nation that isn't in use uses the
test (ntn[i].active == INACTIVE).  I changed this to (!isntn(ntn[i].active).
Secondly in extcmds.c at line 111 the mega conditional is too long
for our little C compiler.  I just had to split it in two.

Now for a new bug:
	Conquer seems to forget some passwprds.  If I add 3 people on
to the game at startup time, the first person can't get in to the
game.  Also the password for 'god' doesn't work.
