Well, I got all the parts of the NetHack 3.0j post, and un-zoo'd it
on my PC. However, both of the .zoo files are 37 bytes bigger than the
sizes given in the header of the first part, and "sum" reports different
figures as well. The individual file sizes are correct, though. I do not
have brik do I did not test it that way. Any comments/suggestions? Could
there be a virus?

Brik checksums were off as well. I checked the zoo'ed binaries with the -t option and everything seemed O.K. I then extracted the files and scanned them with F-PROT's F-SCAN and McAfee's SCAN (no, not 78 :-). Both programs reported a clean machine. The game seems to run fine.

I got the checksum error when trying to unzoo them, but it gave me a line number to check (zoo for pc - very handy for multipart archives). The trouble is that one line got split over two. To fix this you just have to edit the file at that line (I think it was about line 430 in part 6 in the #2 archive - I had no problem with #1), removing the line feed/cr. I don't think that the programs will run correctly if you don't do this - it will work most of the time, but when it gets to a certain part of the code (e.g. getting the artifact ...) it may crash. I'm not totally sure about this, but I'd make the alteration if I were you. Peter K. Campbell aka Purple

Do you suppose that the file might have been downloaded with Xmodem or Ymodem, and that it may have been padded with extra data because of that? -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/!

Comparing the uudecoded zoo files to the copies I have (of the ones I submitted) I note that there is now a comment of ">> Nethack game v3.0.10, disk one files" added to the first archive and one that says ">> Nethack game v3.0.10, disk two files" added to the second. I can only expect that these were added by Mr. Davidsen (or some other reviewer), but since these were not in the zoo files I submitted I could not anticipate them in the checksums that I submitted with it. (note there is a typo in the full listing zoo CRC for GUIDEBK.TXT is "a723" not "s723" :-) Note also that only the complete archive zoo CRC and brik checksums are off. The others listed (verified by zoo vC <archive.zoo>) are correct. No. I don't think we have any troubles here. Hack On! - Norm. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norman J.
