   Well, since there is already a "pared down" version (ST Hack v1.03) it
isn't necessary to chop up ST NetHack.  If you did "pare down" NetHack, you'd
probably end up with a lot of complaints from people who assumed the "pd" 8-)
(visual joke summary:  "pared down" = "pd" = "public domain" [so much for
humor]) version was the only one available.
