	Behold, mortal, the origins of Hack Lite...

	The original HACK was written by Jay Fenlason with help from Kenny
	Woodland, Mike Thome and Jon Payne.

	Andries Brouwer did a major re-write and published (at least) two
	versions (1.0.2 and 1.0.3) to the Usenet.

	PC HACK 3.61 was an MSDOS(tm) version of HACK 1.0.3.  The PC
	implementation was done in Microsoft(tm) C by Don Kneller and
	modified by Ken Arromdee.

	Amiga HACK 1.0.3D was an Amiga version of UNIX HACK 1.0.3. The
	Amiga port was performed by John A. Toebes, VIII, with the
	assistance of other members of the Software Distillery.

	Hack Lite v1.0.0 was a merged version of PC HACK and Amiga Hack,
	created by Alan Beale and John Toebes, incorporating many
	performance and playability improvements.

	Meanwhile, in another part of the dungeon, Mike Stephenson and Ken
	Arromdee created NetHack from PC HACK and UNIX HACK, incorporating
	many modifications and features made by the above, as well as the
	following honored hackers:

	    Scott R. Turner    Tom Almy 	  John S. Bien
	    Gil Neiger	       Ralf Brown	  Eric S. Raymond
	    Eric Backus        Roland McGrath	  Greg Laskin
	    Bruce Holloway     Richard P. Hughey  Kevin Sweet
	    Steve Creps        Olaf Seibert

	Hack Lite v2.0.0 (and beyond) for the Amiga and the IBM PC was
	developed by Alan Beale from Hack Lite v1.0.0 and NetHack 2.2, and
	will surely remain the last word in hackery until v3.0.0.

	Version 1 of the HackInstall program was developed by John Toebes.
	HackInstall, version 2, and HackConfig were written by Jim Cooper.
	The HackInstall archive extraction code was based on code by
	Yooichi Tagawa.  The HackIcon utility was written by Doug Walker.

	Thanks to Tim Friest and Don Withey for InstallBeep, and to Jeff
	Lee for the icons and the death scene.	Also thanks to all the
	Hack Lite beta testers, and especially to Tim Jordan, who improved
	the monster icons, and suggested many other useful enhancements.
