I recently got spacewars working fine on Ultrix 2.0 on a microvax, after
encountering the problem with 'psw' saying 'Wait ' etc and then hanging 
forever.  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'?
