Wanderer game for pidp-11 BSD 2.11

[Rolf Strand]

One of my favorite games in the late 80s was  Steve Shipway's Wanderer.  I managed to find source on the Author's site:

https://www.steveshipway.org/software/wanderer/f_wanderer.html

and with a little help from the Wayback machine and google, fan Marina's site:

https://www.e271.net/~marina/wanderer.html

She has a few images of the game.

Marina's site had an almost identical copy, it was updated to include copyright headers and a GNU COPYING file.

The code as found had mixed versions of C declarations.  I changed to original K&R and soon had most of the files compiling.  

The modules are compiled with the -O flag for optimization.  The game.c file when compiled with optimization, core dumped the compiler.  I modified the make file to not optimize the game.c file.

The code was linking ncurses so I reverted to curses, had to include termcap in the linker command also. 

The project then linked.  When trying to execute it complained about not enough memory.

After much googling and reading the cc man page.  I used the -z option when linking to get it to split into instruction and data segments and then it finally ran.

As written the Makefile install commands are broken.  They try to install in /usr/local/share.

I manually installed it and it ran.

I am working on modifying the code and the Makefile to install it in /usr/games.

If there is any interest in the source let me know.  Does the group have a preferred place to share things like this?
