[net.sources.bugs] Need HELP! with SysV & [hack|larn|p

lmm@labsms.UUCP (10/17/86)

hello fellow hack1.03 fan.

I also have a 3B2, and had similar problems.

This is what I did to fix it.
go into config.h and look for this line:

	typedef char schar;

and change it into:

	typedef short int schar;

The 3B2 does not understand signed character types
which is unfortunate. There seems to be lots of
things written which depend on it. (ex: the search game)

I also changed the line which said:

	typedef unsigned char uchar;
into:
	typedef unsigned short int uchar;

I dont think this change was necessary however.


I also added the following to my .profile ...

HACKOPTIONS=time,nonull,endgame:own/20 top scorers
export HACKOPTIONS

the 'nonull' option helps keep the screen from getting
messed up when you throw something.

Let me know if this works

P.S.  I have never received the source to larn 12.0 or to phant 2.0
I wish someone would be kind enouph to send them to me.  Unfortunately
the only uucp path I know to my machine is through ihnp4 and I hear
that it is kind of unreliable sometimes.
