Hi,

I'm thinking of setting up a nethack tournament among some friends over our upcoming break. To do this we want dump files of the endgame. In particular I'm trying to patch the source with the patch from here:

http://nethack-users.sourceforge.jp/htmldump/

The only patches that don't fail are new files.

It looks like the patch file is populated with a bunch of ^M characters not contained in the source.

What's the easiest way to remove these and hopefully have the patch work?

Thanks

sed maybe? something along the lines of s/^M//

Okay.. I found a way to fix it

emerge fixdos
crlf Nethack-3.4.3-htmldump-0.3.diff

yeah.. I just tried that before I found an easier way. Apparently there are more characters garbled than just the ^M.. :-/

thanks anyway

cheers
