Thanks to Steve for the wanderer version summary.  I would like to add an
additional comment, though.  The "ega-wanderer" that was recently posted
to comp.sources.games is a port of Version 2.2.  In addition to working
with various displays on PC's it is also backwards compatable with the
Unix curses version.  Thus, if you have (or can get) a copy of ega-wanderer
you will have the latest "released" version.  Ega-wanderer was posted without
the screens, however, so you'll have to get them from the 'wand-screens'
posting (2 parts).

Seeing also as how 'ega-wanderer' is a superset of wanderer 2.2, it would
seem to me to be the logical starting place for an updated X-windows port
(and maybe even the released version of 2.3).
