[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Rogue-clone TERMCAP file

Shortly after posting the MS-DOS version of Rogue-clone I got a letter
saying that Rogue-clone doesn't look in the directory \ETC for the
TERMCAP file by default like the MS-DOS version of Nethack does.  Instead
it looks file a file called "termcap" in the current directory.  Since I
use DPATH and store a lot of commonly used files in a \LIB directory,
I didn't think of making Nethack's fairly standard approach the default.
However, there's an easy fix--if you set the environment variable TERMCAP
to the pathname of your termcap file, Rogue-clone will look there.  For
those of you who use \ETC to put termcap in, put

set TERMCAP=\etc\termcap

in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and Rogue-clone will use your copy of the file stored
there.
