I have posted to net.sources an update of the Hack sources containing
various small bug fixes and improvements. Below a copy of the header
of this posting:

The following is a collection of diffs describing the difference of Hack 1.0
and Hack 1.0.1. No really important bugs have been fixed, and no indispensable
extensions have been added, so you may just ignore this posting. In fact, if
you don't have the program patch then you probably should. Otherwise, just
feed this file to patch (while in the Hack source directory), and in one or
two minutes patch will have updated all sources. Then say make.
Description of the main differences:
There is a command , : pickup.
There is a command ^T : teleport.
Hack now adds "with amulet" on the list of topscorers when appropriate.
(Still no cheers, total winner, etc. It is still too easy to go down and up.)
There is an environment variable HACKOPTIONS, and a new o command.
(Now you can tell Hack e.g. that space is not a command, and that you do not
want to see a tombstone.)
The lurker above now consistently has symbol '. (It didnt do anything in 1.0.)
There is a new type of trap. There is a new hunger state FAINTED.
There are texts written in the dust with obscure meaning. (Time to refresh
your Latin.) Some pieces of code where ungrammatical texts were generated
have been corrected. I have also included the fix that was posted for
terminals without ce (I know, it looks terrible, dont flame me.)
I have not (yet) included conditional code for SVR2 since I cannot test it,
and many people were unable to get Hack running with the SVR2 mods that were
posted.
