I agree.  'ed' scripts are highly unportable.  I do have patch on my
MS-DOS machine (which nethack is supposed to run on), but I don't
have ed.  If size is such an important consideration that nethack
is posted as a shar file (not compressed tar for instance), but the
patches are posted as ed scripts, someone has their values slightly
skewed.
