UPDATE 3
--------
The main changes included in patch kit 3 are as follows:
A few new objects were added to objects.c, so old save/bones files
should be thrown out.
Prototypes were adapted to satisfy ANSI C. Hopefully, we will not see
anymore postings which helpfully fix prototypes for ANSI, while breaking
them for the MSDOS compilers they were, originally, set up for.
Use of $(MAKE), and a better use of $PAGER, in scripts.
Improvements to OS/2 and TOS code, including their Makefiles.
Graphics setting was centralized.
Alignment was added to artifacts, and their suitability was improved.
Discover mode games no longer use up bones files.
Some excess 'register's that were giving Xenix trouble were removed.
We settled an (amusing) argument over "rights" to available bits which
was responsible (unintentionally) for ring-wielding bestowing
long-lasting intrinsic attributes.
In addition, many bugs were fixed. Among those were the problems
with polymorphing creatures that swallowed you, finishing with
containers, having chains eaten, external pagers, statue weights, wishing
loopholes, parsing endgame options, and monsters growing up.
In other words, this is a nuts and bolts patch, nothing dramatic but
lots of cleanup.
