There should be only one set of sources for langwar. That's why there is ifdef or platform().

I think the difference is that the older version of langwar for DOS used text character based "graphics", and this was kept for the Linux version. Whereas the newer version of langwar was DOS specific (to the point where it had issues running on Vista because of DOS graphics support there), but took advantage of more powerful DOS graphics library.

Bernie Ryan's SVGAlib for Linux (or EU_ENGIN) could be used to port the DOS-graphics version of langwar to any Unix system that supported SVGAlib, and dos_rescue could be used to bring it back for WIndows.

I also believe I'd documented elsewhere a generic cross-unix method to implement sound().

This now works on Windows. The problem is C still rules the galaxy.

Fixed the signature for sound() empty routine for non-Windows.
