SLASH uploaded again

[Tom Proudfoot]

Wuarchive seems to be down, so I've (again) uploaded SLASH to
ftp.uwp.edu, in the pub/incoming/games directory. I hope it lasts longer
this time...

Any other suggestions of ftp sites would be handy.

The filename is slash2.zip for the binaries, slashsrc.zip for the source.

I'm a little surprised by how much mail I've gotten already, and
embarrassed by the bugs that were already found... but I fixed all the
bugs people found, and these new uploads take care of 'em.

Here's what's been fixed:

------------------------------------------------------------------
February 18, 1996
SLASH-hack -- release 2.

Things fixed in release #2:

* The source is available, and named slashsrc.zip.

* If there are more bugs uncovered, the exes will continue as slash3, slash4,
slash 5, etc. The source will consist of the affected files only, though,
and will be named slashsr2, slashsr3, etc.

Important things (bugs)
-----------------------
* Would crash (divide by zero) after level 24... now fixed.
* Special warnings (like with Sting or Undead Slayers) fixed to show
right monsters.
* The beholder had a "head". Not now...
* Engraving with a wand of fireballs gave the wrong message --
"this is a wand of fire!"
* Included dos4gw.exe in zip file.

Less important things (adjustments)
-----------------------------------
* Pets won't attack gas spores very often.
* Quicklings armor class worsened considerably. (easier to hit them)
* Changed the container interface back to standard NH 3.1.1.
* Confirmed that Magicbane seems to work ok.
* Made a message for the wand of slow monster.

Please, a kind soul should upload slash source to a sunsite (e.g.,
sunsite.unc.edu:pub/linux/Incoming), better if in tar.gz format.
Sunsites are mirrored all around the world.

It sounds really coooool but I havn't been able to find it--every time I
look for it their records say it was uploaded but no longer there...

is there a more stable site? like where the other nethack variants live?
Please let me know where I can find it... Thanks
