Help! I just got Nethack and I can't get it to run. I have the recently posted patch to the termcap file, but it just doesn't seem to help, nethack doesn't recognize that the termcap is there. It just keeps coming back with an error something like "OOPS, unknown terminal type: nansi-color". Does anybody have a clue as to the problem???? andym@crash.CTS.COM UUCP: ...!sdcsvax!crash!andym

I get "OOPS, Can't find termcap" or some such error message. I've tried moving the binary around in my directories (c:\gmaes\nethack and c:\games) , all to no avail. I would REALLY appreciate some help on this problem (nethack bug is biting big time :-)) Thanks. --- emarkwar@ub.d.umn.edu

Does anybody >>have a clue as to the problem???? >I'm having the same problem... I get "OOPS, Can't find termcap" or some such If you rename termcap to termcap.cnf it should work OK. This was a slight mistake on my part which slipped through when I posted it. Actually, if you put termcap in its default directory (c:\etc\) it will also work. That's the reason I missed the error of it not finding termcap.cnf in the path. There was a new README file I posted here that explained this problem, but some people must have missed it. If I ever post a later version, it will be termcap and not termcap.cnf. - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 2.0-1 at Indiana University. creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu, ...iuvax!silver!creps, creps@iubacs.bitnet "F-14 Tomcat!

In case anybody has noticed, NETHACK will not allow for different terminal types referring to the same terminal description in the TERMCAP file. The notation: nansi-mono | DECRainbow :... doesn't work. Maybe the next version could have this? Jeff ..!rutgers!bellcore!mrevox!jlu
