*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR FAVORITE FOOD ***

Sorry, it applies to *all* food type items.  Hack uses a point system for
determining the food value of a particular item.
The number of "food points" you have go up as you eat and down with time.
The status messages at the right hand side of the status line are generated
depending on the food point number.  The "Choke" messages are generated
whenever you attempt to eat something when the number of "food points" you
have exceed a certain value *at the time you start eating*.

What the first posting was explaining is only when eating FOOD RATIONS
do you get the warning message "You're having a hard time getting all
that food down".

This warning appears when you are close to choking on your food.
For all other type of edibles you can choke without warning (although
you have to be satiated first -- you can't choke on any type of edible
if you aren't satiated, so satiation is a warning in itself).

Well, the above isn't true. Some monsters are just so large that they give
more food than you normally can manage to get down.

Another thing that bothers me in hack is that you just eat a dead yeti or
a dead dragon -- Just like this consuming virtually no time. Well these
creatures are enormous and *CAN'T* just be eaten, of cause you can eat
a part of such a creature but not all.

   Might help if you told us what kind of sources you *need*.  Do you run
4.2 BSD, or something else?

   Also, are you doing this as a personal addiction, or planning to make it
public, or what?  Speaking from experience -- I recently took over the care
and feeding of Hack on Sphinx, as the SA felt it wasn't worth keeping it in 
/usr/games, with Rogue -- it may cost more time and money than you can rea-
sonably invest.  (Compilation ate up a lot of my funds, and my storage costs
run to several dollars a day, even removing saved games fairly often...)

   Not that I *regret* it...I'm a Hack addict myself, and it IS an unlimited
account.  But if my boss ever gets a really good idea of what he's paying
for :-) ...

   Anyhow, make your request a little more specific, and be SURE you want it.

The sources as posted to the net in their orginal form ( the might even
contain bug fixes, can't remember which version I saved...) are available
for FTP from this site.
