Well, since my original question I've tried all three suggestions,
with some results at least: no more memory faults ;-)

BUT: this doesn't mean the game runs ;-(

What happens now is that I get Info on my ship etc.etc.
up to the "Hit any key" message, which I do. I then proceed
to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...........
After a couple of minutes, I decide something must be wrong, so I go
off to another terminal and do a ps. Lo and behold, here we have a
couple of processes eating cpu like crazy, apparently doing something
without success, namely the slave and something called peer.
Killing these, I then get a message on my terminal saying something
like "The game seems to have been started twice. Try again, it should
work now" - not that it does ;-(

So, I suppose its into the code I go - or has someone found a
solution? Has anyone got it running under SYS V.3??

Mike
