A good question. I am reletively new to the new and having just recently
picked up a 3b1 in the fire sale, I was happy when I say nethack with
a Makefile "for the AT&T Unix PC using shared libraries".  A good joke.
after making normal adjustments to the makefile so that it would fit
on my system, I tried a 'make all'. it got down to makedefs in the 
complile and then hung. for over an hour. I have 50k of ouput from
'make lint'. It will be a while before I decide to wade through it.

This would be welcome by me too. I was curious as to what nethack was
like as a game - I've never played any version of it, not even rogue -
I guess I will be curious for a while.

I am not familier with a 3b2, but maybe it is close enough to a 3b1 for us
to talk
