I'm not sure that even 25 years ago the official version (from the
website, unpatched) was completely usable). Most anyone running it has
probably applied some of the many patches that have been written, and
removed and/or replaced some of the original code. That's kind of a
daunting approach when using it from scratch these days, although some
suppliers and OSes make it a bit easy.

Then again (just to babble on), I've been running it for about that
length of time on some systems. I originally picked it because I
didn't care for anything else back then, and I liked the way some
of the controls were managed. Plus it was built so that parts of it
could be easily replaced, and I did replace a bunch of parts and change
others.
