I cannot get my copy of NetHack to work.  It loads up OK and prompts me
for name and class, but when it goes to the map of the first level, it gives
me a long string of error messages of the form:

	At found null 16 4 -more-
	Program in disorder, perhaps you'd better quit -more-

This is repeated about 20 times.  If I then try to move around, the error
reoccur.  Have I not installed Hack properly?

    As a less urgent question: my system is an Amiga 1000 with 2 1/2 Meg ram
and 2 floppy drives.  NetHack 3.0 is 700+ kB, and so takes ages and ages to
load up.  Is there any way I can put the NetHack executable on the ram disk
and then have that copy used when the user clicks on the NetHack icon.
It will quickly become unbearable if I have to wait for it to load off the
disk every time I want to play.
