SPACWR.BAS is a version of Star Trek, published by David Ahl in "101
BASIC Computer Games". It's not related to Spacewar, which isn't
text-based.
There is a version of Spacewar for PDP-11, though, with a GT40. I
think Megan has a copy, and I think it runs under RT-11. I must fix my
GT40 and do something about that...
