[comp.sources.bugs] omega

Has anyone managed to get omega working under BSD?  I've solved all the
compiler problems (I think) but it core-dumps mysteriously.

One reason for a core dump that I noticed is that the code does not
check for the success of opening a file.  Thus, I didn't have a omega.motd
and it core dumped.

By the way, anyone else notice that the screen refreshes too many times?
It also refreshes the entire screen after each move.
