Urogue hackers: By accidently typing "=b" when I meant ")b", I dropped a ring without taking it off, and urogue let me do it. The ring displayed on the floor when I moved away, but when I moved back onto the space, I got the message "Nothing to pick up", before I even tried typing ",". I dropped a stack of weapons on top of the ring, stepped away, saw a ")" displayed on the floor, and when I stepped back, it was again a case of "Nothing to pick up". Evidently the code correctly detects the object on the floor, but a pointer problem due to having a ring both on the floor and (virtually) on my finger caused these results. I also checked my inventory, and the ring was no longer shown, nor did "R" " =b" do any good. I don't have access to a compiler to test the source (by agreement with our games administrator), so this is just a note for you urogue hackers to give you a problem to solve in the wee hours. ;-) Kent, the man from xanth.

I do have the source and can test it. It doesn't happen here.... I have version: /* * Last Modified: 10/20/86 */ /* * version number */ char version[] = "UltraRogue 1.03 mm/dd/yy 10/20/86 -dad2"; char *release = "1.03 Alpha (10/20/86)"; It would help a lot if you told people which version you have when reporting bugs. BTW, is Herb Chong out there anywhere? Anyone have an address for him? -Dan A. Dickey -- Dan A. Dickey ddickey@eta.com
