Yes, we have it running on a 3B2 with SysV r3.1.  As an earlier post by
my friend said, it took us 3 people and two nights to fix some bugs and
to make a Berkeley-esque termcap work (contrary to the Makefile, curses
will NOT work) with this thing.  But it is working.  Just a few more
bugs to fix (like why zapping wands leave trails of `L' on the screen)
and all will be OK.

I (we) would suggest that you look at the config.h file very closely, as
clues in there will help you fix most problems.

And if you name your dog, you will see the message "You stop to avoid
hitting dog-name" instead of the ".", even without the fix to fight.c.
