The last version I picked up from doghen compiled and ran on my Amiga with little modification--I changed some of the macros because of brain damage in the C preprocessor, but otherwise it was straightforward. Of course, it was pretty slow on a 7 MHz 68000, and there was no nifty graphics interface, but it worked. I would assume from my experience that it would be reasonably easy to port to other 68000 machines with a reasonable amount of memory. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell U.
