	I didn't have much of a problem. It took me about 20 minutes to take
care of a problem in the case when TERMINFO is defined. At least under System
V release 2, the termcap routines are in the curses library. So, I modified
the config.h files to define TERMINFO, removed the #ifndef TERMINFO clause
around the definition of ospeed in termcap.c, and changed the "bs" attribute
to read "kb" which is the attribute in the System V terminfo database. The
thing compiled and runs without a hitch on my 3B2/300.
	Incidentally, the "You stop to avoid hitting ." problem occurs
because the dog has not been given a name (somebody forgot to initialize a
field); if you 'C' the little dog something (Spot, for example :-) then the
message will read "You stop to avaoid hitting Spot." As soon as I figure out
what I need to initialize, I'll post the answer.
