NetHack 3.4.3 for OpenVMS VAX -- where these files come from
============================================================

Nothing in this kit was edited by us except ONE configuration setting, made as the
distribution's own VMS install notes (sys/vms/Install.vms, step 3) tell you to: the playground
directory compiled into the program (include/vmsconf.h, Local_HACKDIR).  The program,
NH-DATA.DLB, NETHACK.COM, TERMCAP, GUIDEBOOK.DOC, LICENSE, HISTORY, OPTIONS and RECOVER.EXE are
what the distribution's own VMSBUILD.COM and INSTALL.COM produced from the unmodified sources.
Prepared by Douglas P. Fields, Jr. (symbolics@lisp.engineer).

The one change (patches/0001-vmsconf-hackdir.patch)
---------------------------------------------------
  include/vmsconf.h  SHA-256 b5cca482821752b6820c59422ae6507dce2c1ffb3368399a5217cc7b4fa0aa5c (as supplied)

  (the file's own comment says HACKDIR can also be given by the logical name HACKDIR at run
  time; NETHACK_SETUP.COM does that with the real device and directory.)  Local_WIZARD stays
  NHWIZARD (no such account); SECURE, TEXTCOLOR stay undefined; SHELL and SUSPEND as supplied.

How it was built (VAX90, 14-OCT-2026, OpenVMS VAX V7.3, DEC C V6.4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  $ UNZIP -q -a -o NETHACK343-VMS-SRC.ZIP -d [.SRC343]          (36 s, 340 files)
  (vmsconf.h replaced by the one-line change above)
  $ SET DEFAULT [.SRC343.SRC]
  $ @[-.SYS.VMS]VMSBUILD DECC          (batch job: 28 min 54 s elapsed, 27 min 33 s CPU, no warnings printed)
  vmsbuild chose  CC/PREFIX=ALL/NOLIST/INCLUDE=[-.INCLUDE]   (no lex/yacc: the pre-processed sys/share files)
  $ SET DEFAULT [.SRC343]
  $ @[.SYS.VMS]INSTALL "dev:[stage]" "[1,4]"                      (21 s; runs MAKEDEFS, LEV_COMP, DGN_COMP, DLB)
