On level 10, I just found a trap (by stepping on it) which did nothing. When I tried to "identify trap," I got a message which immediately disappeared. By giving a ^R, I got the message to be displayed: wierd trap: 7 I've never seen this before. Does anyone know what this is? Keith Pyle . . .!ihnp4!ut-ngp!pyle

A bug in the program caused the information on the trap to have an invalid value. Mike Laman UUCP: {ucbvax,philabs,sdccsu3,sdcsla}!sdcsvax!laman

Rogue 5.2 (probably every version of rogue) contains "weird" messages for all kinds of items. The messages are used when the software screws up and the item is no longer fully identifyable. My favorite is from Rogue 3.6: A Nymph can steal a ring of aggravate Monster from your finger, but the software doesn't really believe it is gone. It won't let you put anything else on the same finger. After going down two more levels, you can "Remove" from that finger, and you get the message: Removed something weird - Keremath, care of: Robison decvax!ittvax!eosp1 or: allegra!eosp1
