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.

Suggested places to get additional information:
/u3/archive/sources/LISTING
LISTING contains the names of all the programs stored in the
archives, and the sizes. Note: all archives have probably been
stored in compressed form, with 12 bit compression (for machines
that can't handle 16 bit). All multiple file programs have been
stored in seperate directories, then compressed.
More information about the files stored in a particular volume are
kept in files called LOGFILE. Such as:
/u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE
would be the one to get to examine the exact contents of volume 1
of the games section. Additional information from files: sample command
to recover files:
uucp aeras!/u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE /tmp/.
Special note: wild cards have been proven to not be reliable, so
to assure success they are not recommened tools.
