<  AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
<          8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
<          [ The isode 8.0 patches are now also available from bsdi.com.
<            in the directory /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/app.patches.  SMM ]
<  STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal.  I would have to pull
<          the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
<          them.  The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
<          the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
<          available easily.
<          8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
<          but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
<  REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
<          Flex chokes.
<  NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
< 	related to virtual memory size.  It takes alot of space to
< 	compile some of the pieces.
< 
< 	Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
< 	allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
< 	which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
< 
< 	Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
< 	it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
< 	external function delcaration statments.
< 
< 	setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2.  A #define
< 	solved the problem.  Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
< 	since it comes built in to BSD386.
< 
< 	The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
< 	to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
< 
< A few incompatible tweeks were made.  "mkdirhier" takes the place
< of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.

< NOTES:  Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
< system.h file under BSD.  Had to add the following define to
< unixtty.c:
< #ifdef bsdi
< #define GTTY(x)         (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
< #define STTY(x)         (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))
< #endif
< The rest of the config was basically generic BSD.
---
> NOTES:  Configure nethack to use unix system, without SUNOS defines
> and POSIX_TYPES and it will compile without any problems.  Pay
> attention to the X11 installation instructions.  If you follow
> them correctly you should be OK.  Don't forget to rename the
> app-defaults file from NetHack.ad to NetHack when you copy it to the
> app-defaults directory.
