I got a copy off the net a few months ago and got it to work
on our VAX 11/785 running BSD4.2 without much problem.  I then
took it to a 68010 running SYSTEM V and got to work there with
very few modifications.

The code isn't perfect and if you do off the wall stuff it will
sometimes bomb out, but I have found this to be a rare happening.
What copy of battlestar do you have?  What version of UN*X are
you running?
