NetHack 3.4.3 for RISC OS release 2
-----------------------------------

This release should run fine 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. However if something does go wrong, it might be worth checking out the !Run file for possible causes/fixes

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.

Save games, log files, and bones files from previous releases should work with this one. If not, then tough :p
