Howdy all.

Been playing vanilla for several years now and now (at last) testing
slash'em. Was wondering if it's feature or a config related thing, that
when a monster leaves a corpse on a floor I cannot eat/sacrifice it
unless I pick it up to my inventory although I'm standing on it?

Another thing with my windows box when playing is the process ntvdm.exe
with cpu consumption of 100%. Did a google search and found an
application called 'DOSBox' that got the cpu usage back to normal. Only
thing with the DOSBox is the keyboard layout. I'm using finnish keyboard
so I downloaded the keyb.exe for dosbox and the layout needed (file
called su.kl).

Can't get the keyb -command to work. Gives me the following error if I
do command 'keyb su':

keyboard driver for FreeDOS (/?: more info)
Using: C:\BIN\SU.KL
Codepage not found in keyboard definition file - 437

Any help is much appreciated.
keep on hackin..

This one took a bit for me to catch too.

What do you want to eat [cf or ,]
Press , and be prompted what to eat off the floor.

that would be a mode con line in config.sys which would load the "codepage"
for your keyboard. support is there in windows, but not in dos. Perhaps
config.sys is disabled in msconfig?
