Yes there is too much Unix-dependent stuff, however...
I have modified Hack to run on VMS. It's a bit sloppy but it seems to work ok.
The only bug I have found is that wishes blow up if you wish for something that
doesn't exist (like "spanky was a monkey" or "warm girl" ..).  However It
can't be posted because it requires my modified pavel terminfo (just the low
level termcap stuff) and the total package would make a lot of system managers
real mad. After all, the net IS for unix stuff.
Also the company I work for might get mad if I spend all day making tapes
for people.
SO if a few sights who are not quite as busy (like a university [FLAME-ON])
would like to become vms/hack servers for people who sent them requests.
I would be more than happy to send them a Tape of

	VMS Hack source +
	VMS Pavel Terminfo (just termcaps, I'm still working on curses) +
	A Bunch of misc routine to pretend VAX11-C is more unixie.
	VMS Make (very very stupid. But functional!)

	And of course some semi-understandable installation instructions.

Please don't every one respone at once, pick a number between 1 and 10.
If it's 5 send your request otherwise wait a week.
