I set up a minimum disk for running Net Hack and noticed something odd. The Startup-Sequence was being "execute"d properly, but "execute" was not anywhere on the disk. This implies that the code in execute is duplicated somewhere else, if so why do we even need the execute program and why is it not a built in part of the OS instead of a program which must be loaded from disk? (I found it is impossible to run Net hack on a 1 disk 512K system, I run out of disk space on leval 11. I am going to play with the configuration and try to get it to work with two disks.)
