A couple of people have had problems with the termcap for the PC NetHack executables I posted yesterday. The problem is that the termcap code isn't smart enough to use a "tc" entry. Below is a replacement termcap file, which should now work. It also adds entries for monochrome systems. To use termcap, type "set TERM=_____" where _____ is one of ansi-color, nansi-color, ansi-mono, or nansi-mono. Also put the termcap file somewhere in your path. One more thing I didn't mention before: you need LOTS of memory to run this program. I'm using it on a 640K machine, but haven't tried it for less memory. By the way, the error message caused by the termcap problem would have started out with "OOPS." - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 2.0-1 at Indiana University. creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu "F-14 Tomcat!
