I had no problem getting omega to compile on our pyramid 98x running 4.2BSD.
Unfortunately, it's such a memory hog, that we had to remove it from public
access. We were running out of swap space on disk. I recompiled it with
the -q option so that little things like chars would be put togehter in one
word, and I made several of the flags in the Dungeon array into bitfields,
but it still takes 3Mbytes when it runs. I am considering modifying it to
just keep one level in memory at a time, and the rest on disk, but i want
to check with the author first, because of that license he has on it. (No
modification allowed)
