Today I uploaded the PC version of NetHack 2.3 to the archives at
simtel20.arpa. They are now available when accessed by anonymous ftp
to that site. The distribution consists of two archive files located
in the directory pd1:<msdos.games>. The files are named nhack23a.arc
and nhack23b.arc. Here is a sample ftp session you might use to get
these files:
% ftp
ftp> open simtel20.arpa (or 26.0.0.74)
...
user: anonymous
password: ident
...
ftp> cd pd1:<msdos.games>
...
ftp> type tenex
...
ftp> get nhack23a.arc
opened connection... (some time delay- minutes)
ftp> get nhack23b.arc
opened connection...
ftp> quit
%
To those of you with ftp access, happy hacking! To those others who
plan to get it off comp.binaries.ibm.pc, I'm trying to get it posted.
I hope to have the problem with moderation worked out soon. (Two parts
of it I "posted" today bounced back in the mail.)
Remember: download it as binary files! Also remember that the
executable is larger than a 360K floppy disk will hold.
Finally a reminder that I won't be able to email this out individually
to people.
