/* ---------- "PC Nethack v2.3e SOURCES?" ---------- */
I'm trying to adapt PC Nethack v2.3e so it is "safe" to run as an
on-line game under the Opus BBS software.  To do this, I plan
on taking out potentially dangerous commands (such as "!"), and
changing commands that can't be used over a serial line (for instance,
if you try a "^P", your system will trap that as a request to start
echoing everything to the printer, and the remote will never see
it...).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the sources to PC Nethack.
I imagine that they are probably distributed as a 'diff' or 'patch'
file, since there shouldn't be too much to change.  Does anybody
have this available for FTP?  How about UUCP or mail servers?
Heck, I'd settle for the log-onto-BBS-and-download-file routine...

Thanks.
