Here at transys I have successfully ported larn 12.0 to An IBM-AT running
SCO Xenix V Release 2.1. No major surgery, just a lot of little fixes.

One major problem though, in main.c there is a call to malloc when you
create the dungeon. The call asks for about 150k of memory. Unfortunately,
Xenix on an AT can only ask for an amount of memory up to an unsigned
integers largest value (65k). This problem is not apparent until you
reach the sixth level, at which point you will get a SIGSEGV segment
violation. The fixes were simple.

Write me for the diffs, as they are all #ifdef'd with M_XENIX
