["In the service of Virman Vundabar we learn perfection!"] Another convenient mod, and an easy one, is to let the user specify a character on the command line: hack -T # tourist hack -W # wizard (garden variety) and so on. We've done it here.... -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...decvax!sunybcs!gloria!colonel

Who is the author of HACK, and where can he be reached? I know both of these questions have been answered in net.hack but I didn't save them. Could someone please tell me how (mail will do)? Thanks. Alex

Use the -u option. Admittedly you have to give it a player name first, but it is there: hack -u robert-w # player name = robert, character = wizard hack -u Gandalf-t # player name = Gandalf, character = tourist robert -- Robert Viduya Georgia Institute of Technology ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert

In 1.0.2 both work.
