- Welcome to the OS/2 implementation for PC HACK (version 1.03).
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- This is a version of the public domain program HACK (copyright (c)
- Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, 1984, 1985.) implemented
- under OS/2 with the Microsoft C compiler (Version 5.1).
-
- This version of HACK is bound using the BIND utility of the
- Microsoft C Version 5.1 C Compiler. This means that it will run
- under the OS/2 and MS-DOS operating system. The beauty of
- running under the OS/2 operating system is that you can run
- multiple copies of HACK in different sessions and also run other
- programs simulatenously.
-
- Since this has been compiled from an old version of HACK
- (version 1.03), there are some features that do not work. For
- example, all items have to be picked up (including gold), this
- is not automatic. You can toggle this option with the O
- command, or placing the option 'pickup' in the HACK.CNF
- configuration file.
-
- Note: This hasn't been fully tested so there may be some other
- problems lurking out there, so beware.
-
- Depending on the time, I might make corrections and implement
- other features.

- Description of some of the files:
- --------------------------------
-
- GOHACK.BAT - A batch file for DOS to start HACK
- GOHACK.CMD - The same as above but runs under OS/2
-
- Syntax for GOHACK.BAT/CMD
-
- GOHACK [old|<oldsavefile>]
-
- where old = starts from a saved file that has been
- renamed to thor.gam
-
- <oldsavefile> = a saved file that has a file name
- other than thor.gam
-
- The two parameters are optional, if you do not specify one of
- the parameters HACK will either start a new game or start from a
- previously saved game <thor.sav>.
