I think it's for the Sun cc compiler.  It's used to cause the compiler
to generate code for a 68020.

You need to install the program "rsw" in the /usr/dir/lib/sw directory
(where ever you put the other programs).  This is the "read" program
that does all reading from your terminal.  You also need to install the
programs "dmpdbm" and "upddbm".  The makefile creates these programs, 
but the README fails to tell you that you need them.

I have spacewar running on a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 3.4.
