ok, a new bug (feature) for those of you tired of low scores. This only works for those who can use wizard (debug) mode. Ok, enter the game in wizard mode and your favorite class. Save the game. The go to the save directory and 'mv' the file to the same name as if you had saved normally. Then do hack normally. It will see the save file, restore it as a normal player, and presto! You have a wand of wishing with 20 charges. Those of you without wizard mode,... oh well. Anyway, I know it is an easy fix, but was this just left out, or intentional?? Darin Johnson

Much easier, but totally unfair. Hope the people at your site don't catch you cheating on 'em ... -- David C.

If you can play as wizard, you can probably edit the record file also. Give yourself any score you want. Great fun, eh? -- Fletcher Mattox, fletcher@ut-sally.ARPA, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!fletcher
