I would suspect you botched the changes; the Makefile ran perfectly on my
system.  The only problems were apply.c and shknam.c, both of which were
bitten by an apparent bug in the 3B1 C compiler; I had to cc -S both these
files and change a "br.b" instruction to a "br.w" for them to assemble.
The executable works fine.  (I may send out diffs for GRAPHICS under Unix,
via the alternate character set support in terminfo; of course, the diffs
will include diffs to get it working under System V....)

They aren't; believe me, they aren't.  I just helped a friend get a 3B2/310
going and 3B1 experience helped not one bit.
