Okay, here's the updated verion of the PC Angband executable.  It is
100% savefile compatible with the previous executable.  This update
corrects a number of problems, including:

*	A serious stack-overflow problem, which could potentially (but
very unlikely) could mess up your CMOS settings (or worse) by
currupting data.  To insure that this problem doesn't occur again,
this update has stack-checking code compiled in.  This slightly
increases the size of the executable, and maginally slows the
performance of Angband, but it protects your system from any
problems related to stack overflow.  If Angband suddenly exits,
with the message "stack overflow", please let me know ASAP so I
can look into it.  This fix alone is important enough for you to
get the updated executable.
*	Monochrome monitors showed dark-gray monsters and items as black
spaces.  There is now an option (accessible by the '=' key) to
turn off color.
*	Scrolls and Staves of Darkness will now be properly IDed when
used in a room.
*	The Potion of Self Knowledge will now correctly indicate SLAY
EVIL.
*	Minor change in potions code now means several potions will ID
correctly when used.
*	HPs for some high-level unique monsters have been fixed.  (It was a
"wrap-around" problem with the c_list[] array of monster info).
*     Experience gained from high level spells has been fixed.
*	Monster pits are no longer always considered "special".  As you
get deeper and deeper, monster pits are less likely to give you
the "special" message.  This was how the Unix code worked, but a
16-bit wrap-around caused all monster pits to be special on the PC
version.

As before, if there are any problems with this executable, please let
me know by email, at the address below.

Enjoy...
