DECWAR was originally written by Jeff Potter and Bob Hysick at the University of Texas at Austin, based on an earlier game called WAR from the CDC-6600 system (author unknown). Robert Schneider handled the initial port to the DEC-10, after which the game was largely redesigned and rewritten. Version 1.0 was installed in August 1978; version 2.0 followed in July 1979.
