Welcome to the OS/2 implementation for PC HACK (version 1.03).
Introduction
------------
This is a version of the public domain program HACK (copyright (c)
Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, 1984, 1985.) implemented
under OS/2 with the Microsoft C compiler (Version 5.1).
This version of HACK is bound using the BIND utility of the
Microsoft C Version 5.1 C Compiler. This means that it will run
under the OS/2 and MS-DOS operating system. The beauty of
running under the OS/2 operating system is that you can run
multiple copies of HACK in different sessions and also run other
programs simulatenously.
Since this has been compiled from an old version of HACK
(version 1.03), there are some features that do not work. For
example, all items have to be picked up (including gold), this
is not automatic. You can toggle this option with the O
command, or placing the option 'pickup' in the HACK.CNF
configuration file.
Note: This hasn't been fully tested so there may be some other
problems lurking out there, so beware.
Depending on the time, I might make corrections and implement
other features.
If you have any questions, problems, etc., feel free to contact

Happy Hacking!
Description of some of the files:
--------------------------------
GOHACK.BAT - A batch file for DOS to start HACK
GOHACK.CMD - The same as above but runs under OS/2
Syntax for GOHACK.BAT/CMD
GOHACK [old|<oldsavefile>]
where old = starts from a saved file that has been
renamed to thor.gam
<oldsavefile> = a saved file that has a file name
other than thor.gam
The two parameters are optional, if you do not specify one of
the parameters HACK will either start a new game or start from a
previously saved game <thor.sav>.
