The documentation claims that Nethack3.0 has been shown to run on
Microport System V/AT. I can't get it to do so, since Microport has a
known bug in its curses library (the tgetstr() routine processes the
second argument incorrectly: it must have an address, instead of a
pointer to the address). Would whoever got it to run on SV/AT please let
me know how they did it?
