NetHack 3.4.1 for RISC OS release 1
-----------------------------------

This is release is probably a bit shaky as it hasn't been tested too much. It
should run OK straight out of the box, but if it clashes with something else
or crashes a bit then take a look in the !Run file for possible causes/fixes.

Having said that, it should run on any machine with at least RISC OS 3, 4 megs
of free RAM, and 3 megs of disk space. It is 26/32bit neutral, so should run fine on RISC OS 5/Iyonix.

Long file names may be needed, but the game should just about work without them
(e.g. if you use a short character name ;-) )

The main nethack configuration file is !NetHack./nethackrc - modify this (according to the options listed in the guidebook) to change how nethack looks and plays.
