The file should be called  HACK.ENV  and contains option strings that would
normally be set outside the program, in a Unix environment.  The particular
option you want is   HACKDIR=B:  
This sets the 'playground' to your second drive.  Your A: drive would have
hack.prg, hack.env and record.  The B: drive contains all the other files;
help, hh, rumors, etc.  The problem won't actually go away; it'll rear its
ugly head at some later date.  I guess you'll get to about level 20, with
a winning game, it'll fail on saving the level, and it'll totally blow away
any possibility of recovery :-) :-)
