Anyone have any success getting nethack up on xenix 286? I've
about given up due to oddness with ld - the object code *changes*!!!
after linking the executable compared to the assembly output!!!
This is dev sys 2.1.4 update g under 2.2.1 os. The obvious symptoms
are in ini_inv() (in u_int.c) playing as 'W', setting the oc_name_known
flag for the magic item (around line 485) causes a coredump due to bizzare
pointer math. If this code is getting clobbered, there's probably
other problems also. What's going on with the loader? btw, I have
moria working on xenix. If anyone's interested, write.
