The first 20 parts of nethack3p9 are in the process of being posted to comp.sources.games. This is NetHack 3.0i (i.e. all patches up to and including #9 have been applied). It will be posted over several days as it is rather large. Wait for it to all arrive before flooding the net with requests. For your convenience, I have appended the current list of archive sites where you can go to find missing pieces. -Bill Randle Moderator, comp.sources.games Tektronix, Inc. games@saab.CNA.TEK.COM ----------------- Subject: Listing of archive sites Last updated: June 4, 1990 Here is what each field means: Site: The name of the site nice enough to act as an archive site.
