Does anyone have any old a.out binaries other than SimCity that they have
problems with?  I've installed the SimCity package, compat20 and compat21
dists, but cannot get it to run:

    Starting SimCity ... 
    SimCity Classic - UNIX / Tcl & Tk Toolkit version 3.6b - Mattes
    Adding a player on dragon:0.0 ...
    Display Visual = truecolor
    Display Depth = 24
    SimCity can't find an 8 bit color or 1 bit monochrome display on
    "dragon:0.0".
    SimCity: error in TCL code: bad window path name ".head0"
