[comp.sys.apple2] Nethack for the GS?

rsherman@mthvax.cs.miami.edu (Roby Sherman) (04/03/91)

Hi!

   I've noticed that they have Rogue for the GS. Does anyone know if Nethack
   is out for the GS? If not, is anyone working on it?

   Send responses through e-mail and I'll post a summary...

   thanks,
	      Roby

A few days ago, I attempted to dounload the source code for NetHack
version 3.10 from my Unix site (The World). It is 2408 Unix file
file system blocks in size in tar.Z form. That translated into
about 4.5 hours of dl time. Unfortunately, my telecom program 
choked somewhere along the way and I didn't get the file at all.
(I went in the other room and watched TV or I would have re-started
the dl sooner.) 

I'll attempt the dl again sometime soon...but is more for my own
curiosity. I am only just now learning C. I do plan to post it to
the America Online Developer's forum though...in case some 
industrious programmer wants a huge challenge. And with Orca/C 1.3
out now it might not be that big an effort.
