Has anyone out there ported the BSD4.3 games (wump, rogue at al) to NeXT? Does anyone know of any way I could get them (and online man pages). NeXT is said to package a "complete" BSD UNIX, but we all know it ain't complete if there's nothing in it that supports considerable wasting of cpu time. ;-) Cheers! -- / Nik Gervae aka dejnsen@caen.engin.umich.edu | "It'll be finished next week, \ | CS/Linguistics stud. & NeRD at UM (go blow) | I promise!"--me | | | | | **When all else fails, bug someone who | "Just say an iguana chewed | \ knows (not me!). | up your textbook."--Jason Fox /

Not to show off, but this is my /usr/local/games directory: battlestar* hangman* ogre* rogue* battlestar.hints lib/ paranoia* trek* canfield* moria* psychic* worm* castle* nethack* robots* worms* gnugo* nethack3* robots2* Many of them have online manuals or man pages (not necessarily the same thing....). Now, I haven't found wump in a usable form anywhere, but I haven't looked that hard. :-( - jiro -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"

Same with bsd empire.

Most of these can be found in uunet.uu.net archives. Others are in the other UNIX archives (go ask Archie :-). Some take a bit of tweaking to run on the NeXT's, others just need a BSD_4.3 in the appropriate places. Anything that took more than an hour to port I didn't do because I was lazy. :-) As an example of NeXT compatibility with 4.3, I think it makes a good case. - jiro nakamura jiro@shaman.com -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"

Keep in mind, you'll probrably want the latest source for Nethack. I've been playing 3.0.9 at home on an IBM and there are some serious bugs. For instance, elves aren't created with elven weapons, and the Wiz is beatable, etc. -- Phil Fraering dlbres10@pc.usl.edu Joke going around: "How many country music singers does it take to change a light bulb?
