Notes on porting xmille:
The bitmaps in 'cards' are set up for a color display, they probably will not be readable in monocrome without a bit of editing. Also, the card display routines insist on color, so those will need fixing as well.
The major porting headache of mille is roll.c. You'll probably have to fix it for your machine, it's terrible now -- but that's what came with it and it works on my machine...
I'll cheerfully accept bug reports in xmille, and may even be willing to maintain a current version; but I wash my hands of this mess by putting it into the public domain, I don't care what you do with it.

xmille compiles nicely on my Sparc LX running Solaris 2.5. You have to
cd to the "cards" and "control" directories and run "make" there,
though. But it will work, I'm happy to point out! BTW, I use gcc to
compile.
I haven't cleaned up the mess at all; matter of fact, I've contributed
to it I'm sure. I threw in some code for enabling the keyboard to work.
I am going to leave the Makefile's there just the way they are on my machine.
If you find you need to rerun imake, you may have to tinker with the
Makefile's to get it to compile- I did. But it shouldn't be too hard.

P.S. TO get it to run in "Debug" mode, simply rename the executable as
"a.out" and run a.out. It checks $0, and prints various junk along the
way.
P.P.S. I've included the executable. If you're worried about worms and
Trojan horses and such, don't run it. If not, go for it. I didn't put any
in there, but there's no telling where this code has been :-).
