The problem is that spacewar.h has an ifdef statement which reads: #ifdef VMS # define SWCOMFILE "swmlbx" #else /* SYSIII SYSV */ # define SWCOMFILE "/usr/dir/sw/swcomm" #endif /* VMS SYSIII SYSV */ In fact, Ultrix and BSD need the SWCOMFILE defined as well, so just change this file name to be something useful and it should work. My only question is, how do I format the documentation file 'doc.ms'?
