This is about the dangers of playing at work: I thought playing
with my usual X11 interface would be too obvious, so I decided
to switch to tty. I unfortunately mis-remembered tty and edited
my config file so that graphics was set to TERM.
When I launched nethack, it didn't recognize the option, and
launched the standard gnome graphics... and, misled by the
unfamiliar interface, I chose File -> Quit.
So my question is: do I have a chance to recover my game?
(it was of course a very promising one)
I know this question has already been asked and answered, but
I can't figure how my precise case fits in, and I'm very afraid
of messing things up.
I don't remember being asked if I was sure I wanted to quit,
and my game does not appear in the log file.
On the other hand, I have a bunch of alock.* files
(* being from 0 to nine with also 50 51 52 and 66), which have
apparently been created when I accidently quit, and which I
think are files recover can use.
So, can I use recover, and if so, on which of this alock files?
Many thanks in advance for any answer!
