Yes. I have compiled it on Vax785 running system V. 
You have to change a few things like strings.h to string.h
and random() to rand() (also srand(seed)) in a couple of
places. Otherwise, it compiled ok.  The problem with
me was I could not run it because the code was too big
(for the current version of V we are running.. not enough
core for user applications that are too big).  I am trying
to see how I can get around it.  Doing "size" on the
compiled code reports that the program will hog about
4 meg of core (and possibly more for dynamically allocated
storage within the proggram).  The system admistrator says
once our machine is converted to paging from swapping,
the memory problem would go away.. but sure would be
nice if I can run it now.  Anybody any suggestions??
