0. Please read this entire file before trying to build or install
NetHack, then read it again!
1. Building NetHack requires a C compiler (either Compaq C, DEC C,
VAX C, or GNU C) and VMS version V4.6 or later (but see note #9).
This release has been tested with Compaq C V6.4 on Alpha/VMS V7.3-1
and with VAX C V3.2 and GNU C 2.7.1 on VAX/VMS V5.5-2. The build
procedure (vmsbuild.com) should not need to be modified; it accepts
an option for selecting the compiler, and it can detect different
versions which might require specific command qualifiers. Versions
of VAXC earlier than V2.3 will produce many warning messages (about
200 per source file; over to 25,000 total!), but NetHack has been
verified to compile, link, and execute correctly when built with VAXC
V2.2 using vmsbuild.com. There is also a set of Makefiles suitable for
use with MMS or MMK; they may or may not work with other make utilities.
1. Build testing was done using a recent version of HP C (aka Compaq C
aka--and more widely known as--DEC C). Older versions of DEC C will
probably work too. Ancient VAX C probably will not. The set of
Makefiles are known to be out of date; use vmsbuild.com instead.
2. Make sure all the NetHack files are in the appropriate directory
structure. You should set up a directory--referred to as "top" below
