I've got NetHack 2.3 working on the ST. I want to give it a little time
to settle (i.e. to make *sure* all those bugs are out) before posting it,
but it seems to be working pretty well. It's *big*, though; nearly 400K
just for the executable. Would people rather see a "pared down" version
that will run on 520's, or should we go for the full 2.3?
