Perhaps this should be a PR...
Seeing as how we are recently being amused by fortune(6) quotes, I thought
I'd mention an acronymn that hasn't been used recently: POLA
Can anyone explain why every time I upgrade world, my hard earned 'record'
file whilst playing hack(6) gets overwritten by /dev/null, and also all
the user 'bones' and 'save' files rm'd?
If the interface to these files changes, surely the game should recognise
it?
I propose the following patch to src/games/hack:
$ diff -u Makefile.orig Makefile
--- Makefile.orig Wed Aug 11 04:16:06 1999
