I have a simple question.  In the past, I have always just ftp'd programs
when I needed them.  But with programs like NetHack, which are updated by
means of patches, I am somewhat lost.  I am using the IBM PC version.  So
how am I supposed to apply the patches when "patch" is a Unix utility?

Either there is such a program available for IBM, or there is a way for me
to apply the patches on this system (I am on a Unix at present). 

Any suggestions?
