I took the distribution as it came over comp.sources.games, built Hotel, and it ran fine. I've gotten a couple of messages from other people who haven't had any problems. I'd suggest looking at the code to try and locate the problem. There isn't anything tricky - I'm not, for instance, using separate curses windows for the text and board output (there's something that actually doesn't work in curses, incidentally). There's just a "move" right before the text is output. If that move has no effect on your systems, I really can't explain it. -- Scott Turner
