I agree about being transfixed permanently.  Why should floating Eyes
have the ability to end your game in themselves?  Maybe it was just a
bug in an earlier version that Ken has been pushed into keeping. If you
are listening Ken, why do floating Eyes have this awesome ability?

Well, about floating eyes:
	My impression was that the floating eye was a watered down
beholder.  Now, then, a beholder can do several things, one of which is
turn you to stone.  Perhaps that is what's happening?  If so, there should
be hold person spells<paralysis, sound familar>, disintegration<never saw it>,
death<never...>, anti-magic<never noticed>, and a few others.
	Ken??  Am I completely wrong?  I'm trying to defend you.
	<After all, an E has NO physical attack, so it better have some
	noticible defence if it is to be considered non-extinct>
	<P.S.  A beholder is from Gary Gigax's role playing game,
	you know, THAT one!>
