This is not so much a bug as a very irritating part of the source code. UMORIA has many predefined constants for various things, such as INVEN_WIELD, which would be extremely useful, except that THEY ARE NEVER USED. For instance, whenever INVEN_WIELD should be used, the number 22 is used instead. This defeats the whole purpose of having constants. I have been modifying the game at the requests of its major users on our system, and this has caused me sufficient trouble to ask that, in the next release of a patch or a new version of UMORIA, please replace the "magic numbers" in the code by the proper constant name. Thank you. -Douglas Rosengard (dr1v@andrew)
