−	The patch to convert [[NetHack 1.3d]] to [[NetHack 1.4f]] is difficult to apply correctly. Some parts of it seem to be interpreted incorrectly by a modern [[Unix]] shell, and the patch for [[NetHack 1.4f/invent.c\|invent.c]] seems to be created from something different from its [[NetHack 1.3d/invent.c\|counterpart]] in 1.3d.
