Unfortunately it seems to have been corrupted in posting. What I intend to do is to post it to alt.binaries. Now if anyone has any objection at all to this - could they mail me please. I do not want to cause any hassle... I have tested it repeatedly on my own and friend's machines, with no problems - the problems occured in file transfer or posting which is always fraught with hazards. It is unfortunate that the first a poster knows about bugs in a posting is *after* he has posted. Due to Sod's law, the same corruption occurred with the reposting of Unixlib. Again I can post that too (making damned sure that it's right this time) to alt.binaries. Until comp.binaries.acorn is up and running, I concur with the sentiment that further binaries in this group are not appreciated. If all is well I shall post *final* versions of NetHack and Unixlib to alt.binaries soon. I have in any case repackaged NetHack as a desktop application with a much more robust boot sequence. The distribution now fits in a single 550k Spark archive as well, which simplifies unpacking.
