   When I try to Save, I'm told 
   "Can't Open Save FIle (Continue or Quit):"

   I've played around with my HACKDIR variable, but
   that hasn't helped.  My home directory is completely
   open. (dwrxwrxwrx).  I'm running version 1.02.

    Any advice?

Look in the file hack.main.c for the variable SAVEF.  This had to
be changed on our system (it, by default, expects you to have a
directory called save).  Also, regularize() seems to screw things
up, just comment it out.

It isn't you, it's your whole site.  We just had the same problem.
It has to do with the ownership of the hack directory.  Make sure
it and all the files in it...especially the 'save' subdirectory...
are owned by the same person...root...daemon...falcon..whatever you
use.
