README for Debian GNU/Linux Nethack 3.2.2:

Nethack is a wonderfully silly yet quite addicting Dungeons and
Dragons-style adventure game. You play the part of a fierce fighter,
wizard, or any of many other classes, fighting your way down to
retrieve the Amulet of Yendor (try saying THAT one backwards!) for
your god. On the way, you might encounter a quantum mechanic or two,
or perhaps a microscopic space fleet, or -- if you're REALLY lucky --
the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

The Debian package of Nethack includes spoiler files, to be read only
in sheer desperation, in /usr/doc/nethack/spoilers.

A few utilities -- recover, for retrieving your auto-save files in case
of a power failure, and dgn_comp and lev_comp, two utilities for making
your own Nethack levels and dungeons, have been included in
/usr/lib/games/nethack.

The recover utility will be run upon bootup, by /etc/rc.boot/nethack.
Any auto-save files will be retrieved and converted into proper save
files.
