Does anyone have diffs and/or a binary for Nethack 3.0j under Minix ST? I have tried compiling the sources on my 2-megabyte Mega 2. Under gcc, I don't have enough memory to compile the long arrays of objects, monsters, etc., and under c68, cv runs out of memory even when I chmem to 14000000! Even if I do link it, I don't know that it will run with my cludges (the pre-cv binary was 1.3 megs!!!). Thank you for any help, David "the Minix Moocher" Megginson -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / David Megginson david@doe.utoronto.ca / / Centre for Medieval Studies meggin@vm.epas.utoronto.ca / ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Works fine and just as well as unix versions, and you don't have to endure the harddisk noise :-) -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht muts@fysak.fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-533880 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands

However, I hate having to shut down Minix and reboot my computer to use showdvi right now, and I'd hate to have to do it for Nethack. Besides, I'd like to end up running Nethack on one screen and my Real Work on another.

Use MiNT and run NetHack in one MGR window, and your "real" work (what can be more real than NetHack :-) in another window. The TOS version of nethack 3.0j is both MiNT and MGR friendly (surprise surprise, considering who did the port :-). -- Eric R.
