[comp.sys.amiga] Nethack Amiga,where can I get it?

Where can I get Nethack 3.0 for the Amiga?
I have the source but not the patience to compile/(debug??)it.

A pointer to a ftp site would be very helpful.

To compile the current versions (up to patch level 6) for the Amiga you need
Manx 3.6 a custom Make Util and will have to do a lot of little corrections 
and then you will be left with Nethack 3.0pl6 which is buggy anyway.  The
finnal version of NetHack 3.0 is supposed to be patch level 7 and it is 
allready overdue.  Dupposedly the only thing holding it back is E-Mail
probs.  Anyway the Amiga development team allready has all the revised
Makesfiles and have cleaned up the code considerably so that it will compile
cleanly with a Stock Lattice 5.04 or Manx 5.0, under patch level 7.  So my
advice to you is just wait for pl7.

This is not quite true.  The Manx 5.0 support will not be in pl7.  Lattice
support is there.  The need for the cpp and make will be gone for Manx 3.06,
the Manx make (and others) will work after a few changes to the makefile.
