Hi!
Is it possible to somehow run Nethack 3.6 so it looks like the MSDOS port? I used to run 3.43 in DosBox but there's no MSDOS port for 3.6.
I'm very partial to how it looks (http://www.abandonwaredos.com/public/aban_img_screens/nethack-4.jpg). How can I make it look this way?
The Windows 10 cmd prompt has ugly dull colors and the extended symbols are wrong, as is the friendlies highlight. Otherwise it's pretty close. Can I maybe modify the prompt somehow or is there a console emu where that looks like an old MSDOS prompt with the colors and ANSI characters?
Thanks guys :)

You can accomplish this by using Putty to connect to NAO and configure putty to use the CP437 character set. The manual for putty is here (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Chapter4.html). Just do a CTRL+F and search "CP437" and it will tell you how to configure putty to use that character set. Once you've set this up, you can save this as a profile and skip this step in the future.
In your Nethack configuration file, you need to have "OPTIONS=IBMgraphics" somewhere in there. Once you've done this, you're good to go.

for DOS/FreeDOS?
Slashem, not SLEX, as it's too huge. Slashem has the perfect balance of
classes/roles/features and so on.

I've played quite some variants recently;
and what you say resembles my experience -
or let's call it "my impression".
There's a couple interesting things spread
across variants, though, concerning levels
and user interface that would be worthwhile
to have.
