 Michael Clarke created the original Lethe patch for [[NetHack 3.3.1]]. In 2002, the SLASH'EM project began to merge the Lethe patch into SLASH'EM. Darshan Shaligram did much of the initial porting work. A question arose about how to integrate the new Lethe levels into SLASH'EM. (Threads from the slashem-devel mailing list are [https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=342F6DED4DF4D511AA5A00B0D079FEE3010FE131%40MAYA Some questions on Lethe] and [https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=65ts1lqa.fsf%40aztec.soft.net Dungeon reorganization - shades of Lethe].) As a result, the release of SLASH'EM 0.0.7 contains the new monsters from the Lethe patch, but not the new levels. (Forum thread is [https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1153654&forum_id=30376 Lethe].)
-Then Marcin Kościelnicki ported the remainder of the Lethe patch to SLASH'EM. This patch is SLethe 1.1. ([[Rgrn]] thread is [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/msg/fc91f67121fa70b4 Slashem & lethe].) This patch is a context diff, against SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7. Fetch the patch from http://markosc.w.interia.pl/Slethe-1.1.patch. Note that a [[context diff]] is more difficult to read than a [[unified diff]].

There is a copy of SLethe 1.5 at http://bhaak.net/nethack/Slethe-1.5.patch. This patch is difficult to apply because extra copies of objnam.c.orig and zap.c.orig are in the patch; these conflict with the backups that the patch command makes when you apply the patch.

 SLethe adds several new levels, the [[Lethe]] river and three new objects; the patch drastically replaces the old Gehennom of mazes and lairs with a new, mostly fixed-layout hazard. However, the patch does not add new monsters, because SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2 already contains the Lethe monsters, even [[Cthulhu]].
