	Last week I posted a request for the executable for NetHack Patch
level 7. Several kind souls responded, and I was able to get it from Xanth
.cs.wisc.edu (Ip address = 128.82.8.1). I've got an experimental version
of slip for my amiga, which is hooked up to a 3b1 here. So I was able to
download it at 19.2KB via FTP.
	I've got 2.5Meg, with only one floppy 8-(. This entails some
disk swapping, and ....... waiting. Unfortunately, I can't make the pro-
gram memory resident because it appears to use self-modifying code :-( .
	Someone said they couldn't get the hack font to work. I assigned
NetHack to RAM:, modified to nethack.cnf file so that it does everything
from RAM:. To get the font to work you must make a subDir named hack
in whichever device/DIR you've assigned to nethack. Copy '8' to the hack
subdirectory, and the extended font should work.
	Thanks for all the responses - A working version of NetHack3 on
my Amiga, like orgasmic!

P.S.	My UnZoo[er] unpacked the file hack.font incorrectly, naming it
	hack.fon. It must be named hack.font in order for the extended
	character set to work.
