I take that back. I can reproduce it, but only in xterm (I normally don't use X much, so I only tried it in a normal text console.) > > > > > /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.src has a date of Oct 29 > > Sounds odd.

But apparently not. The change back in May seems to be mainly xterm-related, so that is probably to blame. Strange that no other program seems to complain. (Or maybe not so strange. The "bs" capability that /usr/games/hack insists on is decribed in termcap(5) as an obsolete capability that new programs shouldn't depend on. It might be that it is /usr/games/hack that need to be updated to modern conventions.) As a workaround you can run 'hack' with TERM set to 'xterm-r6' -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
