Ah...yes, I did re-extract it, and there is output, but the DOS window
appears and disappears in a fraction of a second (presumably having
completed whatever the program was doing)...too fast for me to read.

Try getting an old 4.77Mhz pc <g>.

I'm not trying to be difficult.

No, I know. The dos prompt in MS OS's is a PITA IMHO. There's a function
where you can leave it open. Try starting one from the start menu just by
itself. There *should* be a button on the titlebar that gives a tooltip
(little yellow pop-up when you hover the mouse over it) that says
properties. You want to bring that up and remove a checkmark that says
close on exit. Then try again with above.

I found this from microsoft's manuals that they don't supply anymore so to
speak:

In case that completely went over your head, prior to windows 95, anyone
who bought a consumer version of microsoft's operating systems got two
books with it - *real* books, one over an inch thick that explained every
dos command and option, the other was a BASIC programming language manual..
I've yet to hear a reason I like why this was stopped.

Remember:

1. Change it to stay open.
2. *remove* the nethack-3.4.3 directory
3. extract nethack to recreate the directory
4. use the aforementioned make line I suggested
5. run nhsetup
6. run install.bat

Okay...I managed to read the output using cmd.

Output for nhsetup:

Proceed with the next step documented in Install.nt

With install.bat I get an error:

'mingw32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
