     The regular distribution of NetHack includes a VMS port.  The current
version is 3.0 patchlevel 9 (aka nh3.0pl9).  It's available from the various
comp.sources.games archives (be sure to get patchlevel 9, not an earlier
version) and also via anonymous FTP from host linc.cis.upenn.edu in
directory "pub/NH3.0".  The sources there are packaged in multiple
uuencoded-compressed-tar files, so you'll need UN*X-style tools to unpack
them, and a C compiler to build NETHACK.EXE.  Report bugs via email to
nethack-bugs@linc.cis.upenn.edu, not by posting to newsgroup rec.games.hack.
