This site contains, for the most part, spoiler files for NetHack that I have either written or updated to the current version. Some may also be archived on other NetHack sites such as Sascha Wostmann's or Boudewijn Waijers', but the latest versions will always be here. Most of this is plaintext; if you really want HTML versions, then Kate Nepveu's site has them, and much other good stuff as well.
Currently here you can find the following:

Legal bit: Please observe that certain conditions apply to the archiving and distribution of those of these spoilers that were originally compiled by Kevin Hugo or by me. Other spoilers for which I am not aware of the conditions, I have chosen to treat as if under an implicit license that is broadly equivalent; I make no guarantee as to whether this is actually the case.
The Frequently Asked Questions file for rgrn, compiled by Stephen Churchill and now maintained by me. Reading it before posting to rgrn is a Good Idea.
These tarballs are, or should be, generated automatically every day. Let me know if something appears broken about them. Note that they're largish files, so please don't download them if you don't really need them for offline reference; in particular, please don't download them on an automated basis. My bandwidth isn't infinite.
I also host a copy of version 1.2 of the NetHack Code (originally written by Irina Rempt), which I helped to update, and a Perl utility nhcodec by Dion Nicolaas that automatically decodes it.
