On Dec 10, version 3.3.0 of NetHack, the most elaborate role-playing environment
you are ever likely to explore was released.

OS/2 Version:

Today I've updated the OS/2 Switchboard again (9 new links added, 13 broken links
removed,including IBM's OS/2 Warp home page that was no longer available when I
checked...).
Also a new page was added with a poll about how OS/2 users look at the future
now IBM's support for OS/2 is fading. Check it out and let me know your opinion.
The poll can be reached from the pull-down menu on the OS/2 Switchboard main page
at URL:
http://shop.mensys.nl/switchboard/
PS: The poll was originally designed for memebrs of the Dutch HCC OS/2 User Group,
but it is now in two languages. I will report about the results here.
I have received a new entry in the MAMERun Joystick Device Driver Contest from
J Da Silva, an enhanced version of gamport.sys. The total value of cash and prizes
is now over $300 US. If you're sitting around bored this holiday this might be a
great way to help that big credit card payment in January. (smile)
What is it?
Write your own joystick device driver for OS/2 and you could win $290 plus valuable
prizes and earn the respect and gratitude of OS/2 gamers around the world! With
the many new games available and the advance of game controllers there arises a
need for a better joystick device driver than IBM's advanced joystick device driver.
Support for new controller features, such as 8+ buttons or USB, will greatly enhance
the OS/2 gaming experience for gamers as well as developers.
