	I am looking at a Mac port, but don't hold your breath for me.
I'm going to implement some general Mac curses routines, then use
NetHack as a big test case, but I'm just as interested in doing UNIX
game ports to run on Mac BBSes as to run on the Mac itself, so what
I'm doing is a little more complicated than just running NetHack.
Nethack 2.xx was ported to the Mac by a guy working at Apple who had
access to some not-for-public-consumption stuff at Think (before they
were Think/Symantec)--he didn't say what the stuff was but I suspect
it was a curses library.  You may hope that he'll do it again before I
get mine ready...

	On a related note, I found a nice Mac port of Umoria the other
day on GEnie.  The author had to have done something about the curses
calls--if he's on the net, maybe he'll respond in one of these
groups...
