Some time ago, someone posted an article to rec.games.programmer, saying
that they were working on an update to xconq, the X11 based wargame.
Being something of an addict I was excited by this news, but haven't
heard anything since.

The release I have is 5.1, sent out by the original author Stan Shebs,
who seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth unfortunately.
Someone sent a 5.3 version, but this did very strange things with the
map and I haven't been able to get it to function.

Has anyone got a newer release of xconq, or pointers to the person who's
now working on the new release? I'd be really grateful to hear from anyone
who can help, don't send the source straight away though, let me know
and I'll get in touch with the closest.

Thanks in advance,
