Changes are: Complete copyright notice, Versions using dot format instead of comma format, and nulls at the end of strings (required, at least for Windows 2000).
Build and install the NetHack.ad file, and change the nethack.sh to append
the HACKDIR to the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH. This means users do not have to
do anything special to use the NetHack X11 resources, nor does it require
teaching nethack where the X11 app-defaults directory is. The change also
updates the X11 and linux doc files in a corresponding way.

Noticed when trying out the "heck patch", where the name of the file
for the sanctum level was changed and I neglected to update my Makefile to
reflect that: nothing was noticed if any files were missing when loading
them into a dlb container. Populating the playground directory for the
non-dlb configuration suffered a similar problem. Now the VMS playground
setup will issue a warning message if this happens (but not abort the
installation; perhaps it ought to do that as well...).
Other ports have the same problem. For example, Unix Makefile.top
relies on file globbing to build the dlb container; if a wildcard pattern
matches no files, dlb won't notice because the shell will have eaten the
offending pattern. Likewise for its non-dlb configuration, where cp won't
notice. However, this isn't a very interesting bug because it won't hit
when the distributed Makefiles correspond with the needed data files.

On some MSDOS ports, STATIC_OVL doesn't equate
to static, so taking_off in do_wear.c conflicts with the
one in invent.c in those environments. Somebody
out there might wish to try and build the 16 port and
tune it to work properly someday.
The following files are gone (sys\wince):
- stat.h (moved to ceinc\sys\stat.h)
- fcntl.h (moved to ceinc\fcntl.h)
- errno.h (moved to ceinc\errno.h)
- assert.h (moved to ceinc\assert.h)
The following files were added:
- mhtxtbuf.c
- mhtxtbuf.h
- menubar.uu
- ceinc
- ceinc\sys
- ceinc\fcntl.h
- ceinc\errno.h
- ceinc\assert.h
- ceinc\sys\stat.h
CE notes:
Fixes:
- added new options "wraptext", "fullscreen" and "softkeyboard"
- CE341-1 fix ("wraptext" option)
- hide map scrollbars on Smartphone
- added View->Options menu
- PocketPC: added "Fit to screen" and "Show/Hide keypad" icons
on the menu bar
- Smartphone: '<', '>' keys were mapped incorrectly
- build: use source files directly from <buildroot>\sys\wince instead of
copying them to <buildroot>\wince\
- If you have Gnome installed on solaris, the GETRES support wouldn't build.
I don't have access to a solaris system with Gnome installed, but hacked
unixconf.h to force the GETRES code itself to be compiled. So, I believe the
unixres.c change will work for folks really using Gnome on Solaris.
Whether the rest of the gnome code will build there is beyond me.
- I accidentally left TIMED_DELAY defined and the Solaris build failed.
While solaris has usleep(), this is not part of SVR4 as far as I can tell.
But, SysV does have poll, so I implemented msleep() for SysV systems in
terms of poll. So, you can now define TIMED_DELAY on any SYSV build.
<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
Finally got around to installing OpenBSD (rev 3.3) in a vmware partition.
Found that several #if BSD's were inappropriate for modern BSD's. Haven't
installed FreeBSD or NetBSD, but based on reading their man pages,
these changes are needed there too. Mostly due to POSIX time() signature.
Explicitly mention fil41b.zip as a required djgpp component.
Oddly, some people only pick up part of djgpp, then
complain to us when the Makefile doesn't run as
planned.
I found that the setting of GUIDECMD sys/unix/Makefile.doc didn't cut
it with groff-1.18. Also, the command was duplicated in the rule to
generate Guidebook.txt.
The number_pad option can now optionally hold a value
{0,1, 2 } for {off, on, DOS-mode} but plain number_pad and
!number_pad in config files still work as before.
When number_pad:2 is set, iflags.num_pad_mode is set to 1
which triggers the following behaviour:

Necessary for C++ builds where the C++ compiler driver must be used
to link, adding libraries that the C compiler driver does not know
about.
Create an empty paniclog file during playground creation, so that it
starts with the same permissions as other writeable files. Without this,
it's liable to end up being owned by the first random user who triggers
a panic or impossibility rather than by the playground owner and probably
wouldn't be writable by any other user.
Make the instructions a bit more blow-by-blow. Re-order them so they
correspond to the Install.unx step numbers. Explicitly refer to
Install.unx and Install.X11 where appropriate.
What's in it:
some MessageBox tidbits:
- Let all MessageBoxes display an icon
- Introduced NHMessageBox to have messageboxes display a consistent title
- Change icon in mswin_display_file from MB_ICONERROR to MB_ICONEXCLAMATION
for non-fatal error
And to solve #U355: NetHackW won't run on Win2K OS:
- Avoid a crash when closing the main window while the splash screen is
displayed.
- Make sure NetHack starts normal when closed minimized
- Center the splash screen on the screen, not on the parent window
(which may be off-screen)
What's new in it:
- Show copyright banner in textbox in splash screen instead of over the picture
- Show news in splash screen only if iflags.news (solves W341-6)
- show complete version information in splash screen when it is used as about box)
[Also reverse the numkey patch in main trunk]
mapping the 5 and 0 to '5' and '0' respectively
when NumLock is off, to make entering numbers easier. The core will map '5' and
'0' to 'g' and 'i' respectively. This solves W341-5.
Note: I changed nhdefkey.c and mhmain.c, so both the tty and the windows
interface will show new behaviour. I deliberately did not change nh340key.dll.
Note: Maybe the same change should be made to the MSDOS port.
Note: The behaviour of getobj is a little bit strange: It doesn't use
yn_question's facility for returning a number, but handles that itself. The
net effect of this is that if you type d55$ (to drop 55 zorkmids,) only the
first '5' is shown
(2 troublesome bands removed
and will follow later)
Here's the new patch with the Windows improvements; this should apply to the
3.4.2 tree. Note the changed filename in the diff lines.
