[comp.os.os9] TOP nethack problem\

rh2y+@andrew.cmu.edu (Russell E. Hoffman, II) (10/06/90)

Does anybody out there know the appropriate way to get the TOP version
of Nethack to run? I have tried, yet as far as I can get is to
the error message 'Cannot get status of nethack3'.
I have the following files: nethack3, nethack, nh305_nethack3.
I have set up the directory /h0/usr/games/lib/nethack3dir.
Am I missing files? This is entirely possible, as I have not yet
managed to get the TOP package in its entirety. I can get any specific
files I need, but our machines here do not have the resources to deal
with the whole package... Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

Some time ago I tried to run the nethack 3 of TOP on a small
ATARI 520+ (1 MByte of memory). I remember I got some weired
error messages I couldn't understand. At last it cme out that
there wasn't enough memory to run nethack 3. Maybe that's
your problem, too. You require at least 1.2 MByte free memory
in one or just few large chunks.

Hmm, I have compiled this version of nethack and it should work. Be
sure to have enough memory (about 2 meg should be sufficient). the
binary should be called nethack3, the default dir is
/h0/usr/games/nethack3dir.

|I have the following files: nethack3, nethack, nh305_nethack3.

nethack3 is the executable, nh305... should be the tared directory
/h0/usr/games/nethack3dir. Nethack might be the executable of Version
2.

Greetings,
Frank
