Source talk:NetHack 1.4f/invent.c

Notice that "1.3" at the top of the file. The patch at UUNet clearly shows that invent.c does indeed have changes from 1.3d. Unfortunately, the patch seems to have been generated using something other than the distributed 1.3d invent.c, and ed chokes when you try to apply it. The overall patch generates a lot of output on stdout and Mr. Harlow seems to have overlooked the error messages.

A recipe for getting a correct 1.4f from the UUNet sources almost warrants its own article. I seem not to have a good procedure myself -- I just diffed my attempt against the Harlow distribution and found manifest errors in both directions, and not just in invent.c. -- Ray Chason 04:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
