<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
Finally got around to installing OpenBSD (rev 3.3) in a vmware partition.
Found that several #if BSD's were inappropriate for modern BSD's. Haven't
installed FreeBSD or NetBSD, but based on reading their man pages,
these changes are needed there too. Mostly due to POSIX time() signature.
Explicitly mention fil41b.zip as a required djgpp component.
Oddly, some people only pick up part of djgpp, then
complain to us when the Makefile doesn't run as
planned.
I found that the setting of GUIDECMD sys/unix/Makefile.doc didn't cut
it with groff-1.18. Also, the command was duplicated in the rule to
generate Guidebook.txt.
The number_pad option can now optionally hold a value
{0,1, 2 } for {off, on, DOS-mode} but plain number_pad and
!number_pad in config files still work as before.
When number_pad:2 is set, iflags.num_pad_mode is set to 1
which triggers the following behaviour:

Necessary for C++ builds where the C++ compiler driver must be used
to link, adding libraries that the C compiler driver does not know
about.
Create an empty paniclog file during playground creation, so that it
starts with the same permissions as other writeable files. Without this,
it's liable to end up being owned by the first random user who triggers
a panic or impossibility rather than by the playground owner and probably
wouldn't be writable by any other user.
Make the instructions a bit more blow-by-blow. Re-order them so they
correspond to the Install.unx step numbers. Explicitly refer to
Install.unx and Install.X11 where appropriate.
What's in it:
some MessageBox tidbits:
- Let all MessageBoxes display an icon
- Introduced NHMessageBox to have messageboxes display a consistent title
- Change icon in mswin_display_file from MB_ICONERROR to MB_ICONEXCLAMATION
for non-fatal error
And to solve #U355: NetHackW won't run on Win2K OS:
- Avoid a crash when closing the main window while the splash screen is
displayed.
- Make sure NetHack starts normal when closed minimized
- Center the splash screen on the screen, not on the parent window
(which may be off-screen)
What's new in it:
- Show copyright banner in textbox in splash screen instead of over the picture
- Show news in splash screen only if iflags.news (solves W341-6)
- show complete version information in splash screen when it is used as about box)
[Also reverse the numkey patch in main trunk]
mapping the 5 and 0 to '5' and '0' respectively
when NumLock is off, to make entering numbers easier. The core will map '5' and
'0' to 'g' and 'i' respectively. This solves W341-5.
Note: I changed nhdefkey.c and mhmain.c, so both the tty and the windows
interface will show new behaviour. I deliberately did not change nh340key.dll.
Note: Maybe the same change should be made to the MSDOS port.
Note: The behaviour of getobj is a little bit strange: It doesn't use
yn_question's facility for returning a number, but handles that itself. The
net effect of this is that if you type d55$ (to drop 55 zorkmids,) only the
first '5' is shown
(2 troublesome bands removed
and will follow later)
Here's the new patch with the Windows improvements; this should apply to the
3.4.2 tree. Note the changed filename in the diff lines.

This patch fixes the MinGW Makefile:
- Adds support for the keystroke DLL.
DLLs are interchangeable between gcc and msc builds.
- Gets the Makefile to work for Win95 and friends
- Adds the -mms-bitfields flag to ensure savefile compatibility between
MinGW and MSC files
- Fixes various minor issues: layout, make spotless, and some duplicate
commands that are now governed by a new tag ($(O)gamedir.tag).
- 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.
-better handling of "more" prompt for messages that would have scrolled off the window
-support perm_invent
-menu option to add/remove windows captions
<Someone> noticed that if one builds something in util and the required .o
files aren't already built in src, the .o gets placed in the wrong place.
Added the missing '-o $@' to the compilation command.
Reported on RH 7.2 and 8.0. Compilation failed because system headers that
needed _GNU_SOURCE on these Redhat versions got included before it was
defined. To ensure _GNU_SOURCE is defined, added an autodetect for it to
config1.h and removed the need to set it in unixres.c. __linux__ is also
checked elsewhere.
I'm updating the official binary to be built on a Redhat 8.0 system. This
should give the binary some legs if we take a while to get the next release out.
