I need some help with NetHack version 3.0J that was posted to pc.binaries
(~apr 9, 1991 or so the readme says)
All of the files have unpacked with the correct size... But, when I run
Nethack from the command line, I get this:
OVLMGR: Unable to resolve overlay file names.
(0009:30A0:A001:000)
With the OVLMGR in bold... I don't normally read this group, so I would have
missed any postings about this.. I didn't see any patches (posted to
pc.binaries anyway) for it..
Oh, I'm running Compaq DOS 3.31, files & buffers = 30, Ansi.sys,
& Himem.sys in the config.sys
Thanks,
-Chert

Re: Nethack... Nevermind... It croaks if your switchar is changed from
'/' to (a more reasonable) '-' **sigh**

Yeah, sorry.
Right now the ovlmgr does its file name resolution based on your
directory separator being a '\' char. Anything else will cause
it indigestion. I thought we had documented this ... then again,
maybe we didn't.
Hopefully I can fix this for the next release. I ask you to
please tolerate it for now.
