or later

Ion frigate: refactor a bit: put modern macOS first, correct spacing (it's "Mac OS", not "MacOS") for classic, make it clear classic is a retronym, cut down on mentions of OS X (renaming was a decade ago)

The '''Mac''' (short for '''Macintosh''') is a family of personal computers made by Apple. The Mac line began in 1984 and continues to the present day, but the brand names, processors, operating systems and development tools used on Macs have changed significantly over time.

'''Classic MacOS''' (previously simply called '''System Software''') was the operating system preloaded on Macs from 1984 to 2001. '''macOS''' (previously called '''Mac OS X''') is a [[Unix]]-based operating system that has been preloaded on Macs from 2001 to today.

NetHack has been available for classic MacOS since at least [[NetHack 3.0.5]], released in 1989. It continued to be supported during the long reign of [[NetHack 3.4.3]], but it is unknown if [[NetHack 3.6.4]] will build or run on it. In the NetHack [[source code]], files relevant to classic MacOS are stored in <code>sys/mac</code>.

NetHack is currently supported for modern macOS (ie Mac OS X). Since macOS is a Unix-based system, the build files are in <code>sys/unix</code>, ''not'' in <code>sys/mac</code>. It can be compiled with [[tiles]], according to [https://redd.it/eqg207 this discussion].
