Amiga Angband 2.6.2 binary

1. Introduction

	This is Angband 2.6.2, compiled with SAS/C 6.51. This compilation
	does NOT need any stupid ixemul.library and it opens its own screen.
	It uses Simon Raybould's Curses package.

2. Requirements

	-	An Amiga computer. This compilation should work with any
		Amiga, though I only have tested it on A4000.
	-	In theory, just Kickstart 1.2 or newer is required. However,
		workbench screen has to be wider than the normal 640 pixels,
		otherwise the curses screen won't be wide enough. Workbench
		overscan can only be normally set with Kickstart 2.04, I
		think.
	-	NTSC or PAL, doesn't matter. If you need VGA modes, you have
		to use some screen promotion tool.
	-	At least 2M memory, I'm afraid. The game itself takes over 1M
		and requires a stack of 500000 bytes. Stack is automatically
		allocated by the startup code, if neccessary. You don't need
		to set stack yourself.
	-	hard disk; this helps a lot but it is not compulsory.

3. Installation

	If you don't have a hard disk, you need to make two floppies:
	the other contains the executable and the other (named Angband)
	has the _contents_ of lib directory - on its main directory.

	On hard disk, you got to assign Angband: before running the game
	(I hate assigns but it was the easiest way to do it). The assignment
	has to be _into_ the "lib" directory - not into angband main
	directory.

	  Assign Angband: HD1:games/angband/lib

	(or wherever you have the lib directory)

4. Usage

	To restore a saved game (which are in lib/save directory), use

	  Run Angband -uName

	Where "Name" should be the name of the character. Note that when your
	character dies, there is still a save file there. Remove obsolete save
	files now and then. You can backup save files, but that might be seen
	as cheating (by True Faithful Worshippers of Holy Angband).

	If you want to change default settings for a new game, create a
	character called "Amiga-user". Then set options (with "="), and
	get this dummy character killed. Settings in save file
	"lib/save/Amiga-user" are always loaded when you start a new game.

	To see command line options, try "Angband -?".

4. Features

	These new features have been added to my previous compilation:
	-	this is now Angband 2.6.2, not 2.6.1.
	-	autoroller can now be stopped by pressing any key
	-	this version includes three small patches - read
		ang262patches.txt for more information
	-	file ang262changes.txt is included
	-	src directory contains the Amiga-specific files and diffs
		for SAS/C 6.51 version. I used SAS diff, which sucks, but
		there is no working diff and patch for Amiga...
	-	An icon; give me credit if you use it. Note that with this
		version no options can be given from Workbench, unless you
		make some clever IconX script.

	I hope this thing works. I did run a lot of tests, and so far it
	has never crashed.

	Sometimes it might get somehow jammed. In this case, try to activate
	the shell from which you ran the game, and press back space a few
	times. I have no idea why this should work, but it did work for
	someone who played the previous compilation. I think it might have
	something to do with Simon J. Raybould's curses package. Fortunately
	the jammed condition hasn't ever been permanent.

	Mail me if you notice any bugs.

	Developers: Somehow it requires that half-mega stack when saving (or
	somewhere there, when quitting the game). Why?
