Unfortunately it seems to have been corrupted in posting. What I intend to do is to post it to alt.binaries. Now if anyone has any objection at all to this - could they mail me please. I do not want to cause any hassle... I have tested it repeatedly on my own and friend's machines, with no problems - the problems occured in file transfer or posting which is always fraught with hazards. It is unfortunate that the first a poster knows about bugs in a posting is *after* he has posted. Due to Sod's law, the same corruption occurred with the reposting of Unixlib. Again I can post that too (making damned sure that it's right this time) to alt.binaries. Until comp.binaries.acorn is up and running, I concur with the sentiment that further binaries in this group are not appreciated. If all is well I shall post *final* versions of NetHack and Unixlib to alt.binaries soon. I have in any case repackaged NetHack as a desktop application with a much more robust boot sequence. The distribution now fits in a single 550k Spark archive as well, which simplifies unpacking.

It's just come to my attention that there is no group called
alt.binaries. There is alt.binaries.multimedia, but I'm not sure about
posting to that. Anyone got any ideas?
