Subject: [Simh] Empire game for VAX/4.xBSD

Hi.

I would like to compile and run very old decompiler for VAX/4.xBSD:
http://www.program-transformation.org/Transform/DecompDecompiler

Piece of readme file:

"WHY I WROTE IT:

To decompile Peter Langston's EMPIRE game and other goodies into source form.  This was desired because I wanted to port the games to VMS and to fix some bugs in the games."

http://www.program-transformation.org/Transform/DecompReadMe

So: I installed SIMH(VAX), I tried different versions of BSD (3BSD, 4.0BSD, etc), but, C compiler in each UNIX produces such code that this ancient decompiler working very unstable.

I try to reproduce all conditions where decompiler's author were at the time and I want to ask, does anybody has Empire game binaries for VAX/4.xBSD dating from the first half of 1980s?
