In response to your message of Mon Sep 20 11:28:12 1982:

   It is very difficult to do anything with a two-handed sword if you
have less than ~320 experience points; it is also difficult to hit with
it if your strength is below average (although this is less of an effect
once you get to > 1280 ep). Thanks to the non-randomness of the
random-number generator, it is possible to run through very long dry spells
(at least 1000 turns' worth) where you can barely hit anything.
