I thought I was going to have to delay the posting of the PC NetHack
2.3 executable, but thanks to John Rupley at Arizona, the major bugs I
was worried about seem to have disappeared. John sent me some diffs he
had, and after (pretty much blindly) applying most of them I recompiled
and was unable to reproduce the bug that had come up so often before.
I'm pretty sure both bugs were caused by the same thing.
I have made some other fixes to get it to work right, the diffs to
which I will post sometime after the executables. I won't post John's
patches, however, just my own. These fixes include:
- get kobold to appear
- add sink symbol for GRAPHICS
- get rid of link error (needed #ifdef UNIX lines)
- a few spelling corrections
Also I'm presently trying to fix a bug in the dragon code,
"The colored dragon breathes xxxxxx" where "xxxxxx" is just garbage.
I'm looking in mhitu.c right now. I may fix other things if I think of them.
Now for posting the executable: I plan to do this starting either
Tuesday or Wednesday night, over a period of two or three days. I will
post to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, but not rec.games.hack, as previously
discussed. Someone pointed out that the sites that do not receive
binaries DO NOT want them, so I will respect the wishes of these sites.
I was unable to get the runfile size down to fit on one disk, so
it looks like those with only 360K floppy drives are out of luck. Sorry.
So far, mail has been unanimous in favor of posting the complete version.

I may fix other things if I think of them. I got this one fixed last night. It was caused by passing three arguments to the kludge() routine, which is only defined with two arguments. This routine probably should have been a macro instead of a subroutine, but I just took the call to kludge() out of mhitu.c, and replaced it with a call to pline() containing a '(Blind) ? "It" : Monnam(...)'. - - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps, Indiana University, Bloomington, "home of the Hoosiers" creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (192.12.206.2) {pur-ee,ihnp4!inuxc,rutgers,pyramid}!iuvax!silver!creps creps@iubacs.bitnet (forwarded) "As seen on MTV"
