- Move the code for keystroke handling into its own source file.
- Compile and link it as a dynamic link library.
- Dynamically load the keystroke handler at runtime
- Add support for specifying a different handler in defaults.nh
so that internationalization issues can be dealt with without
rebuilding nethack, just supply alternative handlers in HACKDIR.
The following exported functions need to be present in
the keystroke handler .dll:
ProcessKeystroke - returns an ascii value to NetHack
NHkbhit - allows peeking to see if a key/mouse press is waiting
SourceWhere - returns location for souce code for a keystroke handler
SourceAuthor - returns author information for a keystroke handler
KeyHandlerName - returns the full or short name of the keystroke handling dll.
Provide a way to have a port-specific debug-mode commands
if PORT_DEBUG is defined at build time.
Add a win32 keystroke checking routine to assist debugging
of international keyboards.
Fix a problem with the way NetHack was handling
international keyboards by letting ToAscii() come
up with an input character based on the virtual key,
and the shift and caps lock state.
The problem with the new autocomplete was tracked down to
be the result of differences between different implementations
of backsp(). The differences go all the way back to the
early MSDOS port by the look of it, and the win32,
and Mac tty ports all seemed to pattern themselves after the
MSDOS port for that routine. Apparently, it didn't cause any
harm until now.
The problem is that backsp() sends a character sequence
of 0x08, 0x20, 0x08 on at least those ports, where the Unix
tty code only sends 0x08. So the characters in the new
autocomplete were all being erased from the screen.
This patch only fixes the win32 tty port, so I've left the
conditional code in getline.c for DOS and Mac. I
CTRL+ALT was being treated as a valid ALT-sequence,
so the meta bit was being set on it, letting it slip past this
check in wintty.c "if (!i) i = '\033';"
This overhauls the ALT processing in nttty.c, some of
which was using scancode mappings from the DOS port
needlessly.
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.
- When running the win32 tty version full-screen, some people
complained about the square mouse cursor.

I didn't mean to override for any color in the mask. My
earlier patch caused it to make green, blue, or red all
become black (which still looked better than white on
grey).
This gets it right (famous last words), and only makes
the text character's color black if it is actually white
or bright white.
when hilite_pet was enabled. After checking into it, the
test was looking for the value:
(FOREGROUND_GREEN|FOREGROUND_BLUE|FOREGROUND_RED)
which signifies a white color on win32 console I/O. The
problem was that in some cases that was OR'd with
something else such as FOREGROUND_INTENSITY.
Fix it by checking only the bits that matter when
turning on the attribute.
Add absent prototypes to some core routines.
Also add some port function() to function(void) in some win32 routines.
Also updates the Borland C Makefile for win32.
The following fixes several bugs:
1) Mismatch between docs and game in definition of what '+' resolved in
favor of docs...
2) When game needs to be recovered a message box is shown. This is a very
deprecated fix. It pretty much answers just the conditions that require
this (a yn question to an erroneous winid), and is not useful for other
purposes.
3) The score file is written.
