I am pretty new at looking at the code for NetHack, so I need some help. How do I access the dat file with all of the .des files in it? For background information, I have NetHack through apt-get install on a Linux system. Thanks!

You don't. the nhdat -file contains multiple data files, but it doesn't contain the plain text des-files, but binary lev-files compiled with lev_comp. --paxed (talk) 04:00, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
