   I have also noticed that hack can run painfully slow at times.
It will run sooooooo sloooooow as to make the game imposible to enjoy.
(it can take up to 15 seconds to move the '@' one space)  It seems to
effect some users and not others.  The problem apears to originate in
the .login (or .cshrc) file.

   I was able to fix the problem by changing the way I set term (or TERM)
NOTE: The problem has nothing to do with CE!!!  Switching from an adm3a
which does not have CE to an adm5 which does did not effect the speed at
which the program ran.

   Originaly I had the line:

	set term=adm5

in my .cshrc file and hack was imposible to play.  So I changed it to:

	set term=`tset - -Q -m dialup:adm3a adm5`

and that fixed the problem.  To make sure that that was the problem I
put it back the way it was originaly.   IT STILL WORKS!  I tried:

	set term=adm3a

IT STILL WORKS!

   I guess my solution to the problem is to play around with your
.login (or .cshrc or .profile) file until it works.

				Good Luck,
