Hack is trying to create a link between a file called 'perm'
and a file called 'safelock' The key is (or at least it
has worked for me) is to make an empty file called 'perm'
in the hack directory, and to make sure that safelock
does not exist there. 
   happy hacking everyone, and try being an S, its fun now.

Did you create an empty file called "perm" in your hack directory?

	You need to install an empty file called "perm" in your
hack directory to fix this problem.  This is mentioned in the
READ_ME file that comes with the source but I overlooked it myself
at first.

You need a null file called "perm" in the directory that the script
puts the player in.  Just go to that directory and type

>perm

or on some systems

cat /dev/null >perm

I got the same error when I also created a copy of hack 1.0.2
 My responce was to wipe out the routine that this checker is
 in.  Leave the routine but cut out all the insides.  If I remember
 correctly it is in hack.main.c

P.S.  If there is a better way of fixing this... Please let me know.
      thanks.
