Hi Can you please compile the Debian package with SCORE_ON_BOTL #define'd in include/config.h ? This allows players to see their score on the bottom line during the game. Since nethack 3.4.0 is out (hint, hint) and savegames and bones files are already incompatible with those from 3.3.1, I think this is the ideal time for this change. Thanks Alexis

Already uploaded 3.4.0 (hint, hint) but I'll think about
SCORE_ON_BOTL.
Not everyone wants that option, though it's nice.

I've just written a Unix hearse client (now in testing, see http://www.argon.org/~roderick/hearse/ if you'd like to participate). Right now the Debian Nethack binaries are bones compatible with the official RPM. If setting SCORE_ON_BOTL will change the version_info that wouldn't be true any more. I thought you might want to know about this before turning it on.
