[net.games.hack] Problems with screen updating

jsb@trwrba.UUCP (John S. Bien) (03/08/86)

I just recently tried porting hack1.0.3 to our Pyramid 98x and for
some reason it won't update the screen properly.  You move around
almost as if you were blind (except you can see monsters and 
items lying about - just no floor around you) and when you
hit the ^R key everything looks okay again.  Is anybody
else running this game on a Pyramid, or does anybody
have an idea why this is happening?  I've compiled
other games and they work fine.  Any help would be
appreciated.

On a pyramid 90x we had the same problem with version 3.0.6 of the
c compiler.  The problem went away when we used the old 2.11 version
(which is the last non-CLE version of the compiler).  The newest
3.1 version has not been tried.
