I said I had the problem with the columns lining up on an inventory
fixed. Yes, I do. I also said there is still a bug in that when it prints
more than one stackable item (e.g. "3 food rations") it omits the number
of items (and prints "food rations").
Well, this bug does not occur in doing an inventory. It's when you go
to a square that has more than one thing on the ground ("There are
several items here:") that it does this. Sorry I didn't have the info
straight before.

This bug happens because eventually the line from the inventory list is displayed using "tputs" from termcap and leading digits are interpreted as delay padding and are removed. As a temp fix I just made a mod to doname() (in objnam.c) to always add a extra space to the front of any item that started with a number. A similar mod needs to be made in invent.c where the string for the gold in the pile is generated. This looks bad but allows you to get usuable inventories.
