+The version of Nethack on Redbrick is based on the Ubuntu version, which contains, among others, the [http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Menucolors menucolors] and [http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Hpmon hpmon] patches.
+We also patch it with the [http://bilious.homelinux.org/?40 dumplog] patch, which records a lot of info about the game when you die.
+A configuration file for the game (which takes advantage of hpmon and menucolors) is available [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~bunbun/.nethackrc here], just put it in ~/.nethackrc.
+If you'd like to keep all of the dumpfiles created when you die, instead of just the most recent, add the following alias to your shell rc file (most likely ~/.zshrc)
+ alias nethack="nethack; [ ! -e \"/var/games/nethack/save/102039bunbun.gz\" ] && cp /var/games/nethack/dumps/bunbun.lastgame.txt ~/dumps/\`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S\`.txt"
+This should save it each time you die to ~/dumps/YEAR-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.txt, though in some cases it creates duplicates (If you quit before choosing your role/race/gender/alignment that I know of).
