124 # Using the DEC Rainbow/ANSI line-drawing character set:
126 # If you have compiled with TERMLIB, merely set the DECgraphics option as
127 # above. NetHack will then switch into the VTxxx line-drawing character set
128 # (aka ANSI ruling character set '0') for dungeon characters. If you don't
129 # like the selections, you can make up your own via the graphics options,
130 # adding 128 to the value of any line-drawing character you want to use.
131 # (But you should still set DECgraphics to get the correct processing.)
