Note that the latest (and several patches back) version of nethack has a
version that compiles and runs on the Macintosh under MacOS. Unless Windows 3.0
is every bit as bad as Mac fans say it is, it shouldn't be that big a job
to convert the relevant code!

Disclaimer: I hate PC's and would only use one under extreme duress. I believe
that qualifies me to make such statements as the one above.
