Someone posted an article several days ago about the fix to the bug where
all of your inventory is identified from the beginning. I believe they
said that they were going to post their fixes to comp.sources.bugs. Has
anyone seen this fix? If so, please email me a copy.
On another note, with 3 people and 2 nights we finally have 2.2 'working'
on a 3b2 running System V. If there is enough interest and when it is
cleaned up enough, we'll post our diffs.

Since the amount of work necessary to get this completely working on System V in general and 3b2's in particular is apparently quite large, I for one would love to see the diffs posted. Although I've spent some time working on the various problems, it appears that much of the termcap stuff is non-trivial. This has been especially true on a XENIX machine where core-dumps seem to just randomly appear.

PLEASE, post you diffs! I have been surprised at all the Sys V problems - We have a Vax 8600 running ordinary System V Rel 2.0 and it took me all of about 30 minutes to get nethack 2.2 running. I had absolutely no trouble using curses except for ospeed being undeclared in termcap.c (or tty.c I don't remember). The only other problem I had was an incorrect #define for rand() in rnd.c. I used Makefile.unix, changed termlib to curses and made the appropriate changes to config.h. Well, what else can I say, I guess not all Sys V systems are equal.

Likewise for an AT&T 3B5 with SYS V R2. Except that I don't know the 3B5's quirks, so I played it safe in config.h -- short int instead of char, etc. David -- David Wells dave@csustan.UUCP (209) 522-1816 lll-crg!csustan!dave
