I do not play games. However, making a reply ... may help to
keep this thread alive. To me it looks as if you have only
two binaries, xheretic and vgaheretic. By all probabilities
xaheretic is a common file run by these. Please do a file on
each of these and crosscheck.
You should be able to run xheretic with that command. It is
unlikely that xaheretic will run. xheretic should run as a
normal user like any other X application.

This may be true for vgaheretic (but not xheretic). There is
a problem with all svgalib programs, wherein for security
considerations, root privileges may be necessary ... In case
yours is a stand alone box, you may consider setting the
suid bit (viz. chmod +s vgaheretic), which will enable you
to run this program as a mere mortal !

Sub : Line numbering your programs (#3) LOST #152
Want a listing of your program with line numbers ?
Use `cat -n my-file' to print my-file with line numbers.
This is specially useful when you want the output sent to
another file or printer [ e.g. cat -n test.c | lpr ]
