	This comment apparently has not changed since the days of [[Hack]], apart from the addition of travel. By the time [[NetHack 3.4.3]] was released, many of the possible values for <tt>flags.run</tt> had an unclear purpose, and the comment really didn't help, at all. FIQ believes some of the values may not have been used even in Hack itself, but in another game originally distributed with hack, apparently called Quest, which used some of the same source files, did not require others, and had some extra source files of its own; this game, if it ever existed in complete form, has since been lost.
