The book mentions that this is is a port from the Amiga version, and makes use of color extensively. The configuration file options are more extensive in this version than in other versions (beyond just specifying compatibility options and the characters for wall graphics). Another change is that the confirmation on hitting a tame animal is now an option, and not turned off by default.
