I'm playing the small version of hack (pdp11/45 version). I have a gripe! I found a wand on the first level. ran into a ghost on the second level and zapped him. it polymorphed into a lurker. I ran away since I only had a few hitpoints at best. later on the level I got swallowed by the critter, so I did the only thing possible, I polymorphed it. it turned into a violet fungi which I couldn't escape or hit or zap or do anything SINCE IT WAS OCCUPYING THE SAME SPACE AS I. I think this ought to be modified to place the monster next to you if the polymorphed monster WAS a lurker AND had swallowed you. Peter Barada ima!Pbear!peterb
