[net.games.hack] Questions & spoiler confirmations

Does a wand of cancellation keep demons from reproducing?
How about some other strategies for the buggers?

If you're whacking on a monster and you teleport, can you drag the
monster with you? I think I've noticed this a few times. Pup too.

You read a unidentified scroll and get absolutely no response.
Is the scroll of taming the only one that does this?

I met my ghost and and former pup, which had been polymorphed
into a P. So I went under Elbereth and waited for my present
little dog to get some purple worm juice on his jaws. No dice.
He took out everything else, eventually turning into a large dog.
Still no purple puddle. Will he never attack a P? Or did this have
something to do with the fact that I was only on level 4? (Talk
about inappropriate levels - my former self had starved because my P
had killed and chowed on everything it had come across.)

Does eating a Quasit give you regeneration powers? I'm pretty sure
this is true, but maybe one of you source readers can confirm it.

Eating a Quasit has no extra effect.
If there is any way to regenerate more quickly other than a ring of
regeneration, I've yet to come across it.

All of this is true of hack version 1.0.2.

Could someone enlighten me as to the significance of purple worm juice, etc.?

Thanks,
