The SUN me files work fine.  I just ln -s'ed them over from our SUN

Actually, games are a great way to test softare portability.  The
differences I have noticed are the random number generators and the

constants out of the IO drivers.  Compile a bunch of the games from
the archives and you'll find all the BSD-SYSV differences very quickly
