The following people have worked on the hack directory:
Dave Harmon/Phoenix
Greg Samson/Terminator Samson
Melissa Silvestre/Dilvish the Deliverer
Robert Thau/pauper
Tony Lazar/Frxzogg the Flatulent
The net.files material came from:
Colonel George l Sicherman and
Carlton Hommel
via "Daniel G. Winkowski" <lazarus%buffalo.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa>
DEDICATED to those others above without whom these files, had
they existed at all, could never have been nearly so complete. Also, to all
those dedicated hackers who created the need for a set of hints files.
Notes: a (?) means that the person who wrote was unsure of something, or that
someone else knew he was wrong but didn't know what was right.
A (") indicates that the given name for an item is the name given by an
identify scroll, suitable for wishing. Many items not bearing this mark are
in fact given by their proper names, but who's going to wish for a scroll of
fire?
If you see mistaken or uncertain information, please correct or confirm as
appropriate, and post the corrections on the net if you aren't on the home
system of these files. (That's h-sc4@harvard.ARPA)
