- With the demise of Windows NT on the DEC Alpha, no attempt has been
- made to build NetHack 3.5 on that platform.
-
- No attempt has been made to build or run NetHack 3.5 on Windows Me
- at this point. It may work, but then again it may not.
-
- A build for Intel 80286 machines and DOS "real mode" overlaid versions
- has not been produced for NetHack 3.5. Nobody on the porting team has
- the time or the software to attempt the necessary tuning that will allow
- it to achieve the balance of having just the right amount of available
- memory, and still have acceptable performance. The sources necessary
- to do so are still included in the source distribution, so if someone
- has access to a real-mode compiler and lots of spare time on their hands,
- you may be able to get things working. Of course you do so at your own risk.

-If you've changed something to get NetHack to run on your system, it's likely
-that others have done it by making slightly different modifications. By routing
-your patches through the development team, we should be able to avoid making
-everyone else choose among variant patches claiming to do the same thing, to keep
-most of the copies of 3.5 synchronized by means of official patches, and to
-maintain the painfully-created file organization. (This process has been working
-since the time when everyone just posted their own patches to 2.3. At that time,
-there were no archived bug-fixes to give to people who got 2.3 after its initial
-release, so the same bugs kept being discovered by new batches of people.)
-We have been successful in preventing this from happening since the 3.0
-release. Please cooperate to keep this from happening to 3.5.
-
-It is inevitable that we will reject some proposed additions of new features
-either because they do not fit our conception of the game, or because they
-require more code than we consider they're worth. If we reject your feature,
-you are free, of course, to post the patches to the net yourself and let the
-marketplace decide their worth.
+If a feature is not accepted you are free, of course, to post the patches

All of this amounts to the following: If you decide to apply a free-lanced
patch to your 3.5 code, you are on your own. In our own patches, we will
