I got it to run on a Sun 4.  The file "f2c.h" didn't seem to come in the
tarfile, I had to get that elsewhere.

I have the forward/back problem too.  The workaround is to hit the middle mouse
button, which restores the joystick to the center.  As far as I can tell the
bug is that when you move the joystick outside it's "normal range", the
horizontal offset is set to zero.  Moving back into range usually fixes the
problem.

BTW, is there any way to quit the game, short of dieing enough times?
