[rec.games.hack] Mac Port

Working on the Mac port, PL5.  I finally got the resource files
translated into RMaker format, except the PICT resource in nethack.r
causes ResEdit to crash (after I see "Nethack 3.0 for the Macintosh").
Solution:  created a new PICT.  Has anyone had the same problem, and
if so, how was it solved?

Problem 2:  When compiling the makedefs application, got an error
message "invalid redeclaration of malloc."  This happened while
compiling alloc.c, and showed up in Stdlib.h.  Traced the problem to
system.h, where malloc is also declared.  Solved the problem by
commenting out the declaration in system.h.  Makedefs seemed to run
OK.  I haven't done much C programming, so I don't know if this is
correct.

BTW, if anyone wants the RMaker files, I can e-mail them.
