I have just received the spacewars sources and have run into a problem in
compiling them.  I have tried this on two different UNIX V boxes so I think that
something is wrong with the original sources(I hope).

The problem is in the area of the references to "dbm.h" and libdbm.a.  These are
nowhere to be found on my systems and the README file makes no reference on how
this is to be handled.  There is a program by the name dbm.c but it requires a
rms.h header file and that is not on any of my UNIX systems either.  

So my question is what should be done to correct this?  All answers should be 
sent via e-mail, if possible, and I will post the responses at a later date.

Thanks.
