various Unix systems, in particular, a RS6000. Wanting to play Moria
(successor to rogue), I found that the ansi mode didn't quite cut it and
ended up hacking up a TERMCAP / TERMINFO entry to deal with the issue as
best as it was possible.
The number of times I have heard “I couldn’t run {nethack, rogue, Moria} so I tweaked the
termcap / terminfo for the terminal”… I had a similar issue with a WY-180 fixed by the
local termcap wizard (not me, I abandoned all hope quite rapidly).
Definitely agree that trying “close” terminals is a viable route.
