Perhaps this belongs in a FAQ. The UNIX SysV/386 consoles require the color bytes to be sent out in a different ORDER than nethack sends 'em. Once you find the right piece of code (there are fourteen thousand identical printf's that send out color codes #ifdef'ed under different machines/OS'es) its a two line fix, tops. > [Geoff goes on to compliment nethack on its incredible good programming] C'mon, Nethack is up there with GNUemacs on the AMAZING scale, and I adore every person who wrote a line of it, but its a total HACK!
