      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: galaxis
      Version: 1.7
      Category: games
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: UNIX clone of the Mac game Galaxis
      Long Description: UNIX-hosted, curses-based clone of the nifty little Macintosh freeware game Galaxis. The code is POSIX-conforming and was written under Linux using the ncurses library\; it should part readily to any System V. BSD sites using the inferior native BSD curses will lose some features (no color, nor arrow-key support).
