I got the just posted "wanderer" for Microport V/AT to compile and run
(thank you, Steven Shipway and Dave Bondenstab) on my *non* ega system.
The only minor tweak required was pulling the #define of EGA inside
wand_head.h.  However, although I haven't encountered any bugs in playing
I did get the following during the compile: 
"m.c", line 22: warning: illegal pointer combination

The offending line is apparently:
char (*screen)[ROWLEN+1+1] = &area[1][1];

Can anyone educate me on what's wrong here?  lint doesn't like it either.

I'd appreciate an email copy of any posted response.  Thanks.
