*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** The hack directory has been locked up on my system. Can someone who has access to the hack.hints file mail me a copy? Would appreciate it greatly. I'm playing hack v 1.0.2 if you need that. Mainly I'm just wondering about a few things which the file might contain. Michael

Here is a trivial hint which many probably already know.
To gain levels quickly at the start, assuming you have a Ring of Fire
Resistance and a wand of Polymorph. Wear ring and zap dog until he turns
into a dragon. (this may take awhile) Slay the dragon for instant 8th
level (assuming you were level 1). Spears and wands of cold work best
on dragons by the way. This method works for other nasty low level
monsters as well, but I've never gotten any more level than I did for
killing the dragon.
Has any one zapped the shopkeeper with a wand (I'm not sure which one),
then it says "(name) gets angry." The shopkeeper disappears and you may
freely leave the shop and roam the level without encountering him. The
only problem is all the goodies you steal remain (unpaid) and the first
time you try to use one of these (unpaid) items you get the nasty message,
"Core Dump" which can be most annoying when you're doing well. I had
this happen to me on level 4 (version 1.0.3). I'm not even sure what wand
it was. I assume if it was a teleport I would have encountered him some
where on that level, but I searched it thoroughly before leaving.
Any ideas??????
