-I've retried compiling, and also used TortoiseSVN to produce a nethack-3.4.3-orig folder, then copied those files into the relevant source folders, but when I try to use the http://alt.org/nethack/userdata/t/tjr4/tjr4.nh343rc file for my defaults.nh (with a few edits to turn on ncurses), it gives syntax errors for the MSGTYPE commands.  However, the "NetHack 3.4.3 (Curses Interface)" installation works fine with the newer defaults.nh file, but I think it has a few differences to the nh343-alt.diff changes.
