- Amiga NetHack 3.1.3
-
- VERSION
-
- Amiga NetHack 3.1.3 is the third patchlevel of NetHack 3.1.
- Saved games and bones files from previous versions (including
- previous patch levels of 3.1) will NOT work with this release.
-
- AUTHOR
-
- NetHack is created by the NetHack Development Team and ported to
- the Amiga by the Amiga NetHack Team. Please report bugs, problems,
- and suggestions to nethack-bugs@linc.cis.upenn.edu. Please note
- that you are using the Amiga version.
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- NetHack 3.1 is a new generation of the dungeon exploration game
- NetHack. It is a distant descendent of Hack, and a direct
- descendent of NetHack 3.0. It is the product of two years of
- very intensive effort by the NetHack Development Team and its
- porting sub-teams. Many parts of 3.0 were rewritten for
- NetHack 3.1, and many new features were added.
-
- We dedicate the game to the many players of 3.0, with special
- note of those who communicated with us and contributed their
- ideas to the development of this new version.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- NetHack 3.1.3 is primarily a bug-fix update. Other improvements
- are left for you to discover.
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- NetHack runs on any Amiga with at least 2 meg of RAM and AmigaDOS
- 1.3 or 2.04 (or later). NetHack will run from floppy but a hard
- disk is strongly recommended - NetHack requires approximately 3
- meg of hard disk space. The official binaries are packed with
- the lz archiver, version 1.92.
-
- FTP INFORMATION
-
- The official binaries are available in two .lzh files on aminet.
- The files are NH31P3-1.lzh and NH31P3-2.lzh. (I don't know
- where on aminet the files will be placed.)
-
- In addition, the same files are available on linc.cis.upenn.edu
- (please limit transfers from linc to non-business hours, East
- Coast USA time). The files on linc are in pub/NH3.1/binaries/amiga.
- Full source code for all versions of NetHack (Amiga, Unix, MS-DOS,
- Macintosh, OS/2, VMS, NT, Atari) is available in pub/NH3.1/source.
-
-
- The official binaries for Amiga NetHack come in two .lzh
- files. Extract the installation instructions from the first
- archive (probably called NH31P3-1.lzh) with the following
- command:
- lz x NH31P3-1.lzh NetHack/ReadMe
- and follow the directions. Note that the ReadMe file will be
- in a NetHack subdirectory.
-
- We have been informed that the default stack is not big enough
- to unpack the archives with some archivers - if you have
- trouble unpacking the archives try increasing your stack to
- 40000.
-
- For problems with the archives contact keni@oasys.dt.navy.mil
- or use the central address nethack-bugs@linc.cis.upenn.edu.
- Please mention that you are using the official Amiga binaries
- for 3.1.3.
