You read my mind.. I was just sitting here wondering the same thing.
The game looks like it has potential.. but it's virtually useless
in its present state in a UNIX V environment. A few months ago,
someone posted the "conversion" as part of the bug fixes, but after
spending about an hour typing the changes in (he didn't set it up for 
patch) I compiled it, and zilch. My Star Ship just sits there getting
blasted. None of the keys to manuver, fire weapons, etc. work.  
If anyone has something that they are USING currently which is 
working on UNIX V, please
post it. If nothing is posted within a week, well.. rm *.c *.o
works great on any UNIX system. :+)@.
