# Introduction

ChrHac version 2.4b for NetHack 3.6.7 and 3.4.3

A program for DOS computers with EGA/VGA graphics to play NetHack with
"graphics."

Redefine the symbols of the game like walls, sinks, fountains,
and traps to resemble what they are and not an ASCII character.

Also define items to look like amulets instead of quotes, rings
instead of equal signs and gold instead of dollar signs.

# Usage

* Install NetHack 3.6.7 or NetHack 3.4.3.
* Make note of the version, ex: 3.6.7
* Make note of the directory, ex: C:\GAMES\NETHACK
* Change to the chrhk24b directory
* Change to the subdirectory that matches the version, ex: nh367
* Note:
  If NetHack isn't in C:\GAMES\NETHACK, then an extra step is needed:
  Edit the batch file and update NHDIR to match the directory.
* To use the ChrHac font: run insthac.bat
* To use the ChrSet font: run instset.bat
* To use the DeeT font:   run instdeet.bat
* This will copy a new configuration file into the NetHack directory.
* Note:
  If your directory isn't C:\GAMES\NETHACK, then you made need to:
  Edit hack.cnf or nethack.cnf and change HACKDIR to match the directory.
* Run nh.bat to load the font and start NetHack

Note: Older versions of NetHack cannot fully utilize these fonts, and
thus look the same with the chrhac and chrset fonts.  For this reason,
the instset.bat script is omitted for older versions of NetHack.
