The newest version of XTank available on expo.lcs.mit.edu has been fixed
to run correctly on Sun 3's and 4's.  I have compiled it and got it to
run fine, without any problems (the robots work correctly too).  It
really works great if you run the server on a Sparc and put all of the
windows up on Sparcs.  Putting one Sun 3 in the game will slow the whole
thing down though, since everything syncs with the slowest machine.
