Well, no. It still has some annoying bugs (it scrambles the top ten
file, for instance), and, of course, it requires Minix 386 or Minix 68K.
I wonder how many of the remaining bugs are in the Minix libraries or
OS? In any case, I might post my diffs (they are not too large) in a
week or two, when I've had time to test everything out. With gcc, you
need at least 3 megs of RAM to compile the program!!

If I ever get the binary to the point that it is as bug free as Eric
Smith's TOS version of Nethack, I might consider posting it. Then
again, as Wayne of Wayne's World says, monkeys might fly out of my
butt :-)
