This distribution of the real-mode version of NetHack 3.2.1 contains two
NetHack executables, each built with a different overlay structure.

nethack.exe      Contains a copy of NetHack built with the default overlay
                 structure for NetHack.  Use this if you have lots of 
                 the 640K base RAM available.  You should have a minimum
                 of 560K base RAM free to use this executable.  It may load
                 in less, but you could end up with memory allocation failures
                 during parts of the game that demand lots of memory.

nethack2.exe	 Contains a copy of NetHack built with a second overlay
                 structure.  This allows NetHack to load and run with a
                 minimum of 500K of base RAM available for loading programs.
                 It may load in less, but you could end up with memory
                 allocation failures during parts of the game that demand
                 lots of memory. This executable demands that there is lots
                 of extended memory available in which to cache overlays.  
                 Use this in conjunction with disk caching software.  You 
                 may find this one particularly useful if you tend to have 
                 lots of TSR's or real-mode network drivers loaded.
