[comp.sources.games.bugs] mpss works but...

mrh@camcon.uucp (Mark Hughes) (07/28/88)

We appear to have mpss working on Sun Unix, except for the following:

The first time anyone plays (multi-user, not just one player) all is ok. But
if you get killed by one of your friendly work-mates, are kicked out and then
re-enter the game you can still play, but with all sorts of rubbish appearing
on the screen. Almost everything printed appears to be prefixed or prepended by
the same odd pair of characters, although the pair is different each time
that you re-enter the game. Thus as anything pans or scrolls past on the 
starship display it leaves a trail of these "odd characters". 

As I said, you can still play, but it is most annoying.

The fault would appear to be associated with cursor positioning. Anyone else
found this, or know the fix?
