I have finally managed to compile the most recent version of Nethack
on a 4 meg ST running Minix, using gcc in 32-bit mode (it didn't work
in 16-bit mode). Sometimes I lose information saving, but I'll work
on that later. Right now, whenever anything is thrown, I end up with
'5's all over the place, and have to hit ^R. I don't know the NH source
well enough to even start looking for the cause. Perhaps it is a bug
in the Minix 1.5.10 termcap library, or the curses library that I use.
Has anyone ever seen this with any other Nethack implementation? Can
anyone guess the problem? Thanks,


David
