	Well it may not fit, but I am going to try to put a Hack on
to an IBMxt running PC/IX.  Any Idea of any ways to clip text/and or
data that has to be resident in memory at one time?  I have the version
which has mklev external to the main block, so things are smaller there
at least.

I hope you are using the pdp-11 version. I tried just for fun to build the
regular version on pc/ix and got some nasty messages about cst and cret
being way out of range. The text comes to 252k alone.

I got the pdp-11 version running and banged on it for a while until I lost
it. (I accidently did a ``rm ./bo *'' when getting rid of the bones files.)

There were a lot of little changes that had to be made so pc/ix could
get it to fit in 65k text. It came out to about 63.5k text.

So if you wish, send me a tickler in about a week and I'll send you all the
mods I had to make.

(I got to find the first part of the sources for pdp-11 version)
If anybody has them, drop me a line so I can poll your sight for them.

Thanx,

Well, I looked at the code, and I figured out how to get the Amulet of Yendor.
I won't say how, but let me tell you, it is TOUGH.  It took me quite a while,
and I had the src to look through.. It was actually an inspired guess that
led me to the answer, but I can only say good luck to all of you in figuring it
out, and I'll give you a hint: You don't just go down and down until you find
it.
