I'm going to implement some general Mac curses routines, then use NetHack as a big test case, but I'm just as interested in doing UNIX game ports to run on Mac BBSes as to run on the Mac itself, so what I'm doing is a little more complicated than just running NetHack. Nethack 2.xx was ported to the Mac by a guy working at Apple who had access to some not-for-public-consumption stuff at Think (before they were Think/Symantec)--he didn't say what the stuff was but I suspect it was a curses library. You may hope that he'll do it again before I get mine ready... On a related note, I found a nice Mac port of Umoria the other day on GEnie. The author had to have done something about the curses calls--if he's on the net, maybe he'll respond in one of these groups... Paul Meyer pem@cadnetix.COM Daisy/Cadnetix Inc.
