[rec.games.hack] yet another nethack bug....

lawitzke@eecae.UUCP (John Lawitzke) (12/30/87)

No one seems to have mentioned this bug yet so.....

Under hack 1.0.2, when someone sends you mail why you are hack'ing,
a mail man approaches you and gives you a 'scroll of mail'. When you
read the scroll you see the message they sent and are propmted to hit
any key to continue. 

I have brought up nethack2.2 on a VAX8600 running Ultrix 1.2 and this
feature doesn't work. You get the scroll of mail ok, but when you read
it, the screen clears, but no message is shown and you are prompted to
hit any key to continue.

Apparently this bug hasn't been noticed by anyone else yet and it's
not that major of a bug, but one that should probably be worked for the
next release.
