Running Usurper on raspberry pi?

I've managed to get usurper and editor running pretty well on a
raspberry pi ([changes available on
github](https://github.com/swarmdog/Usurper)).  I have to delete NPCs
#18 and #45 to get maintenance to run, so I was thinking there might
be some bad data in the NPC file.  Looking through the editor some of
them jump out as being a little wierd but I know Usurper is a wierd
game.  I think eventually I'll make a set of custom NPCs anyway but
figured I'd check around and see if my NPCS.dat is totally hosed.

​

  If anybody is running this on DOS and can check out the default
values for some of the NPCs I'd appreciate it, here's what I'm
getting, for Pogo, NPC #1 (running editor via putty):

And, one other random NPC, #5 Mysghnak, just seems wierd that they
have such high money and experience values:

I know you posted this a week ago but I just did a fresh install of
Usurper 20e then upgraded to latest release of version 24 and here are
the same NPCs from a fresh install:

Thanks!  It does look like mine are a bit corrupted.  It runs great on
the pi so the players have had some interesting encounters with the
very rich and powerful NPCs over the last week or two.

Yeah I bet. I forgot how brutal that game can be just out of the box
compared to LORD as a new user as I lost my initial 10k gold dying on
my first dungeon run attempt.  Learned my lesson quick to bank my gold
from now on.

Great to hear it runs good on the pi. I am running on xubunto VM now
via mystic and dosemu. Only the initial run/generation of events
sucked up any major processor usage.

One thing that gets everyone is Zombie/Corpse summons in the early
game.  I just flee if I see them and I'm under level 8.  They get
easier to deal with over time, not sure if its a bug or a feature.
