Yes, please... a little more specific indeed.  Do you have the GAL.COM file 
that goes along with it?  I doubt it would run without it, in fact I'm sure of
it, for if you don't assign GAL_DIR and a few other pointers, the game will
not work.  I have had it running on our VAXes, running VMS 5.2 and it works 
fine, never had a problem with it.  If you'd like, I can send you all the Gal-
Trader files that I have, that should get it working.  E-Mail me if you are
interested.
