winhack.h is not being used anywhere now and can safely be deleted.
There 2 instances of this file:
sys\wince\winhack.h
win\win32\winhack.h
The patch is also attached that adjusts for this.
<Someone> reports that someone on the
newsgroup tried to use the MSVC 1.52c (16 bit compiler) Makefile
with MSVC 6 (32 bit compiler). Try to make it more obvious
that the Makefile isn't for that.
This uses pmatch() as a default pattern matcher,
and #defines USER_SOUNDS_REGEX for Qt
to enable the code for regular expressions.
This is enabled for win32tty and win32gui.
CTRL+ALT was being treated as a valid ALT-sequence,
so the meta bit was being set on it, letting it slip past this
check in wintty.c "if (!i) i = '\033';"
This overhauls the ALT processing in nttty.c, some of
which was using scancode mappings from the DOS port
needlessly.
1) consolidate all core usage of `errno' in files.c;
2) give more feedback for any failure by create_levelfile or open_levelfile,
similar to what was being done for problems during level change;
3) include trickery info in paniclog (many instances of "trickery" seem to
be due to disk or quota problems rather than user misbehavior...).
The create_levelfile call in pcmain probably ought to be changed to use
error feedback, but in the meantime this should continue working.
Perhaps error() should be modified to update paniclog too, but I didn't
want to go through all its port-specific incarnations making changes.
Prevent the pardoning of trickery in wizard mode from attempting
to continue when there's no longer any current level. Also prevent
the ZEROCOMP configuration from trying to read from file descriptor -1
in case there're any other places which still let that slip through.
And fix an oddity in the VMS port's error() routine which has gone
unnoticed for years.

Add syntax that <Someone> introduced for the Mingw Makefile.gcc
to make it easy to use unix-style path separation throughout
the Makefile.
Put all the .exe files into ../util
Put all the .obj files into o/

Subject: patch: missing amiga bits
Hi,
here are some missing bits from the amigafiles.
Current source compiles fine, seems to work ok (launches, runs, opens windows
and quits as usual). I haven't had much time to test it rigorously (or play
at all), but I don't remember there having been any major changes that would've
affected the amigaport, so it probably should be okay as it is.

Allow single character variations in player names
to remain unique in file names by encoding rather
than substituting.
"plnam one", "plnam_one", and "plnam~one" at the
"Who are you?" prompt get unique filenames after this patch.
Since -s doesn't function properly under the WIN32
graphical interface as yet, disable it altogether.
Also clean up nhusage() so that it does work with
the WIN32 graphical interface.
The NOCWD_ASSUMPTIONS conditional code allows readonly
parts of NetHack to be separated from areas that require write-access.
This allows the recent panic log needed a prefix.
