OK, the binaries are now at:
ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/misc/axpbin-Maelstrom-1.4.1-L4.1.tar.gz
If you have X11 running, you should be able to just unpack it and
start playing. This version was built with Linus's patch (except for
the rand() workaround, which is no longer needed).
Now I *finally* know what the 640x480 XFree mode is for... :)
Have fun,
