Bug in 5.3 Rogue ...

[robison at eosp1.UUCP]

Obviously, the IDnumber of a long sword (among weapons) is the
same as the ID number of your potion (among potions).  The subroutine
that tells you a projectile has disappeared expects to get the ID of a
weapon.  
(One of the outstanding weaknesses of Rogue is the way it allows you to
use anything as a weapon, but the software is really not worked out
for non-weapon combat).

You know what, I now realize that I can identify potions without
drinking them;  all I have to do is throw them away, after I develop
a table correlating potion and weapon numbers.
