After a couple of hours the other day, I got nethack to work on my UNIX PC. There is one problem, however, and I wonder if anyone else has encountered it as well. Whenever an orc or goblin throws something at the character, the area of the screen near the path of the thrown object fills up with garbage like this: 5<00085<#748! What's going on here? Thanks for any and all replies. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | Terry Wong "Be yourself, no matter what | | Class of 1989 they say" | | Choate Rosemary Hall | | Wallingford, Connecticut --Sting | | yale!spock!twong | ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I had the same problem on my AT&T UNIX-PC 3B1, running the 3.5 software. This problem is caused by defining TERMLIB when you compile it. Apparently the 3B1's termlib is faulty. Just recompile the whole thing _without_ TERMLIB defined, and all of those strange screen artifacts will go away. -- Computer Fenestrations Bob Breum Post Office Box 151 {uiucuxc|hoptoad|petsd|ucf-cs}!peora!cmpfen!bob Lake Monroe, FL 32747 USA +1 407 322-3222 "C is the new BASIC"
