Re: the much delayed posting of PC NetHack...

IT WASN'T RD's or JH's FAULT!!! It was mine. I'm the one
who reported that there were problems with the fixes that
JH had made to nethack for the PC. (Save levels and ghosts
didn't work).

JH properly asked RD to delay the posting until he could
fix the bugs that I found. What good would getting an early
version of the game do you if it didn't work? I think JH
is probably glad that the binary didn't go out. As it was
he only got a few "hey something's funny here" messages
instead of the thousands I'm sure he would have gotten had
the bum binary been released. I can't help but feel the
person carping for an unmoderated group would probably have
been the most vocal critic of the game not working :-).
