NetHack questions.
So, I’ve been playing NetHack on my USB stick lately, since I’m getting bored with the internet (just a little).
Unfortunately, the computers here at the Salvation Army keep me from visiting the NetHack (I don’t think it likes the word ‘hack’ in the domain name, really) homepage, so I can’t go there and find out if there’s a way to get NH to stop prepending the name of the computer I’m on to the save files. I have to go in and change the name of the save file to get NetHack to realize that I have a valid save that I’d like to continue playing with.
Perhaps one of you reading this would know the answer to my question?

From what I can tell from reading Wikihack’s description of the various options, there isn’t. It’s possible that there’s a way to change that when compiling, but not by anything that goes in .nethackrc.
I did find a link to a Portable Nethack project, which may be friendlier with your USB stick. (As an aside, I sadly haven’t seen an equivcalent for Slash’EM anywhere.)
(Also, oddly, it looks like this comment system requires me to change my cookie settings to work.)
I’ll have to look for that portable NetHack project, then, to see if it helps.
Oh, it ate my link, sorry! The URL is http://www.robloach.net/project/portableapplications
