+This is export hack, my first semester programming project.
+
+To set it up for your system, you will have to do the following:
+ 1: create a hack uid, to own the top ten list, etc.
+ 2: create a hack directory "/usr/lib/game/hack" is the default.
+ 2.5: make the directory 700 mode. /* sav files go in there...*/
+ 3: modify hack.main.c to use the new directory.
+ 4: modify hack.main.c so it uses the new hack gid. Gid accounts can
+go into magic mode without the password, can get cores with ^G, etc.
+(make sure gid isn't checked anywhere else...)
+ 5: recompile hack.
+ 6: put it in games after making it set-uid hack.
+ 8: fix the bugs I undobtedly left in it.
+ 9: tell me what you think of it.
+
+ Hack uses the UCB file /etc/termcap to get your terminal escape codes.
+If you don't use it, you will have to make extensive changes to hack.pri.c
+
+If you find any bugs (That you think I don't know about), or have any
+awesome new changes (Like a better save (One that works!)), or have ANY
+questions, write me

+or call me at (617) 443-5036. Since I have both a modem and a teen-age
+sister, Good Luck.
+
+
+Hack is split (roughly) into several source files that do different things.
+I have tried to fit all the procedures having to do with a certain segment
+of the game into a single file, but the job is not the best in the world.
+The rough splits are:
+
+hack.c General random stuff and things I never got around to moving.
+hack.main.c main() and other random procedures, also the lock file stuff.
+hack.mon.c Monsters, moving, attacking, etc.
+hack.do.c drink, eat, read, wield, save, etc.
+hack.do1.c zap, wear, remove, etc...
+hack.pri.c stuff having to do with the screen, most of the terminal
+ independant stuff is in here.
+hack.lev.c temp files and calling of mklev.
+
+Because of the peculiar restraints on our system, I make mklev (create
+a level) a separate procedure execd by hack when needed. The source for
+mklev is (Naturaly) mklev.c. You may want to put mklev back into hack.
+Good luck.
+
+Most of hack was written by me, with help from
+ Kenny Woodland (KW) (general random things including
+ the original BUZZ())
+ Mike Thome (MT) (The original chamelian)
+ and Jon Payne (JP) (The original lock file kludge and
+ the massive CURS())
+
+This entire program would not have been possible without the SFSU Logo
+Workshop. I am eternally grateful to all of our students (Especially K.L.),
+without whom I would never have seen Rogue. I am especially grateful to
+Mike Clancy, without whose generous help I would never have gotten to play
+ROGUE.
