I have just bugfixed the unixlib I used to port nethack to the Arch. Amongst other things it now allows all signal handlers to return properly, which is something Acorn's Ansilib can't do. It does include a full termcap, which works with all standard termcap entries. Curses however lies on top of termcap/termlib and I haven't ported that yet. (Though there are PD sources around and it wouldn't be difficult). Various other hacks include better (faster + more reliable) stdio, better OS interface, the proper implementation of SIGEMT, SIGSYS, SIGALRM/ alarm() and SIGERR (RiscOS errors), and better quality rand(). I will post this next month sometime as soon as there's some doc. for it all. Unfortunately I have too much "real" work to do right now. I also recompiled nethack with TEXTCOLOR, so you now get the 16 color nethack in Mode 12. If anyone wants this stuff badly, Email me. Porting GNU/SYSV stuff generally requires no modification, just recompilation.
