If the graphics symbols for VWALL or HWALL are set to characters with the
high bit set (as might happen on a mess-dos machine), zapping with a ray-type
wand or spell causes a slew of "At gets null" errors. The problem is that
these characters are being passed to a routine (Tmp_at) which compares them
with zero (values <=0 signal special functions).
A fix is to change Tmp_at (and tmp_at while we're at it) to accept ints
instead of chars as arguments and to convince buzz() to pass unsigned chars
to Tmp_at:
In prisym.c, change the declaration of tmp_at on line 41 from
tmp_at(x,y) schar x,y; {
to
tmp_at(x,y) int x,y; {
and change the declaration of Tmp_at on line 69 from
Tmp_at(x,y) schar x,y; {
to
Tmp_at(x,y) int x,y; {
and in zap.c, change the declaration of dirlet on lines 675 and 676 from
char
dirlet(dx,dy) register dx,dy; {
to
uchar
dirlet(dx,dy) register dx,dy; {
