On SCO Xenix 286 v2.2.3 (2.2.1 development system) Nethack 3.0 patchlevel 3 has only one evident problem: anything thrown or kicked leaves a trail of messed up characters behind it on the screen, and the user needs to hit ^R to clean things up. Anyone else seen this and maybe fixed it? I am using termcap for default, not terminfo. Thanks... -Jay Libove libove@libove.UUCP = root@libove.pgh.pa.us libove@cs.cmu.edu = jl42@andrew.cmu.edu

Make sure you link with "-lcurses -lx". We had this problem until we made that single change. Now all is well.

I had complained of trash left on my screen when things were thrown in Nethack 3.0 PL 1, 2, 3; still happens after all attempted fixes, so I removed the wait loop on thrown items and replaced it with a no-op, and now things aren't seen in the throw phase (go by too fast, even on my PC/AT :} ) but I don't have to hit ^R very often. Also, flex, plus casting to (int) the yylength macro, got the auxil/ files to build properly with the lev_comp program; something must be busted (or 32 bit int assumed...) in SCO's lex or the nethack sources... Thanks to all... -Jay Libove libove@andrew.cmu.edu uunet!gateway.sei.cmu.edu!libove!root (usenet) libove@drycas (bitnet)
