+ Apparently, this game was originally written outside of Digital,
+ probably at a university. The game was ported to DEC's VAX/VMS
+ from the TOPS-10/20 FORTRAN sources available around fall 1979.
+ Ed James got hold of the sources at Berkeley and converted
+ portions of the code to C, mostly to use curses for the screen
+ handling. He published his modified sources on the net in
+ December 1986. Because this game ran on VMS machines for so
+ long, a previous version is known as VMS Empire.
