A couple of notes on the PDP version of Hack which may also affect other
versions. It uses the :ho entry in the termcap for home, which is fine
except some of our termcap entries use :kh instead. If you are using
the microsoft C compiler V3.0 and send a bogus parameter to printf
like %D when it expects %ld, it affects the whole programs operation.
I was caught by my own programming ethos which stresses function first
and the quality of the screen display second. After spending numerous
hours trying to track down errors and failing I decided at least I could
get rid of the capitol D's and U's that were appearing on the screen.
And when I did that the other problems cleared up. Now on to version
1.0.2.
