3.0G is available via anonymous ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu in
/incoming/amiga as NH3G-Aux.zoo and NH3G-Exe.zoo.

| I've ftp'd these 2 files to xanth:
| /incoming/amiga/NH3G-Exe.zoo
| /incoming/amiga/NH3G-Aux.zoo
| 
| For the convenience of those Amiga users who'd like to play NetHack 3.0
| (patchlevel 7) but do not want to do all the work of compiling it, here
| it is for the Amiga.  It is enclosed within two zoo files.
| 
| One zoo file, NH3G-Exe.zoo contains only the executable.  It is 805868
| bytes when un-zoo'd and should be placed on a floppy disk called HackExe:
| or in a harddisk directory with HackExe: appropriately assigned.
| 
| The other zoo file, NH3G-Aux.zoo contains the auxiliary files also needed
| to play NetHack.  Zoo x// these onto a floppy disk called NetHack: or into
| a harddisk directory with NetHack: appropriately assigned.  There are
| icons here for some document files and for running the game itself.
| 
| I compiled NetHack with Lattice 5.04 according to the instructions in
| Install.ami (included).  I stripped the DEBUG hunks from the executable
| so that it can fit on a floppy disk.
| 
| NetHack 3.0 is a tight fit on a 1 megabyte machine.  Before sending this
| off, I tested it on a 2-Meg fast, 1-Meg chip Amiga by booting an unaltered
| copy of Workbench 1.3, double-clicking the NoFastMem program (to try to
| simulate a 1 Meg system), and by then double-clicking the NewGame icon.
| Workbench reported about 90K free when NetHack was running.  Unfortunately,
| this does not exactly mimic a true 1 Meg machine.  You may have to make a
| lean boot-up disk, possibly using a PD program like OnePlane or WBDepth to
| reduce the memory used by the Workbench screen, and run HackExe:NetHack
| from the CLI.
| 
| Have fun!  Read rec.games.hack for tips & techniques.
